QX: Protected to preserve polyphenols
QX is a limited release of Quartz Hill's most concentrated, medicinal-grade high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil.
It is independently lab verified at 793 mg/kg polyphenols - three times what the industry usually celebrates as high-polyphenol (250mg/kg). [see lab reports here]
Quartz Hill are Australian polyphenol specialists and use world-class production and protection techniques. As polyphenols are very fragile they must be protected from degradation long after the lab report is published.

WHY FOCUS ON POLYPHENOLS?
Polyphenols are the antioxidant compounds in quality extra virgin olive oil that are linked to cardiovascular protection, reduced oxidative stress, gut health, cognitive health and anti-inflammatory benefits.
The European Food Safety Authority requires a minimum of 250mg/kg polyphenols to claim the anti-inflammatory health benefits of olive oil. QX delivers more than x3 that threshold in a single daily tablespoon.

CHAIN OF CUSTODY
Every decision between our grove and your kitchen is made to protect the polyphenol concentration.
Early harvest: picked at peak polyphenol concentration
Cold pressed: within hours of picking
Naturally filtered: settled in stainless steel vats. Gravity settles sediment without mechanical filtering
Stored under inert gas blanket: preventing oxygen from degrading polyphenols before bottling
Temperature controlled: stored, bottled and packed in temperature controlled cellars
Bottled monthly at the estate: not warehoused, not aged on a shelf
Protective dark glass: light degrades polyphenols
Lid: Specialty oxygen reducing pouring lid
Small format: encouages a bottle to be finished within a month.

THE GROVE
Quartz Hill is grown on the ancient volcanic soils of the Victorian Macedon Ranges, a high altitude, cool-climate region that naturally stresses the olive trees which encourages higher polyphenol production and exceptional freshness.
This produces a more robust, fruity & peppery oil with superior stability.
