A Sensory Experience
Loaded with unique aromas and flavors, Darmmess is a fresh, peppery and grassy EVOO coming exclusively from Deir Mimas village, Lebanon, commonly referred to as the "Bordeaux of Lebanese olive oils". Do not hesitate to discover its complex yet harmonious taste, reminiscent of unripe "Souri" green olives with bitter spicy notes and a green fruitiness. Enjoy it raw as a finishing drizzling oil. Available in limited quantities.
High on Elenolides & Phenols
Analyzed at Athens University in Greece, our 2022 evoo shows a very high concentration of a new constituent called Elenolides (E) (between 910 and 1213 mg/kg across our 6 lots), acting as an antihypertensive agent in the human body. Elenolides are technically a marker of high quality EVOO's, as can be only found in those coming from unripe olives with high phenolic load processed with minimal water during malaxation. Moreover 65% of our 2022 harvest rank in the bronze category of High Phenolic Extra virgin Olive Oils. Thus, Darmmess as per the EU regulation (EU432/12), can be treated as a natural food supplement with two tablespoons daily to prevent and reverse serious chronic diseases. We can proudly say it is an elixir of life.
