Cold and fresh pressed extra virgin olive oil from Azerbaijan — produced with the same ancient pressing methods used across the Mediterranean for millennia. Rich golden color, robust flavor, and maximum polyphenol content preserved through cold pressing.

Nutrition Highlights

  • Very high in oleic acid (monounsaturated fat) — ~73% of fat content
  • Rich in olive polyphenols (oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol) — powerful antioxidants
  • Contains Vitamins E and K
  • Anti-inflammatory compounds (oleocanthal)
  • Zero carbohydrates, zero sugar

How to Enjoy

Drizzle over salads — never cook with EVOO at high heat to preserve polyphenols. Pour over cooked buckwheat or grains as a finishing oil. Use as a dip for rye crispbread with sea salt. Drizzle over canned sardines or cod liver. Add a tablespoon to smoothies for healthy fats. The classic Mediterranean health habit: a tablespoon of EVOO each morning on an empty stomach.

Health Benefits

Extra virgin olive oil is one of the most extensively studied foods in the history of nutrition — a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet that is consistently linked to reduced cardiovascular disease, lower rates of cognitive decline, anti-inflammatory effects, and longevity. The oleocanthal compound in fresh EVOO has an anti-inflammatory mechanism similar to ibuprofen. The polyphenols protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation — a key driver of heart disease. Cold pressing preserves these polyphenols and flavor compounds that are destroyed in refined or heated oils. Azerbaijan, bordering the Caucasus Mountains, has ideal olive-growing conditions producing oils comparable in quality to premium Mediterranean EVOOs.

Why European?

Noah's Ark, Azerbaijan — cold and fresh pressed, no refinement, no additives. Azerbaijani olive groves in the Caucasus region produce oils with outstanding polyphenol profiles.

SWAP Idea

SWAP: Replace canola oil, vegetable oil, or seed oils → extra virgin olive oil. Better fats, real polyphenols, centuries of proof.
