What Makes Zagoda Different

Zagoda is crafted from early-harvest olives, hand-picked and cold pressed on the same day. This protects the full character and nutrients of the fruit, creating an olive oil that is fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor.

Truly Cold Pressed

At Zagoda, olives are pressed within hours of harvest. We do not store them in bins for days like most mass-produced oils. Although “cold pressed” is widely used on labels, few oils are handled with this level of care. You can taste it in the freshness and bold, green finish of every bottle.

Ultra-Premium, Explained

Most olive oils labeled “extra virgin” do not meet the highest standards. “Ultra Premium” is a stricter international classification that requires very low acidity (under 0.3%) and high nutritional value. It guarantees purity, freshness, and full traceability from farm to bottle.

Extremely Low Acidity

Zagoda consistently tests below 0.3% in free oleic acidity. This means the olives were processed quickly, without damage or oxidation. Low acidity equals better taste, longer shelf life, and greater health benefits.

Very High Polyphenols

Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that support gut health, reduce inflammation, and protect the body from oxidative stress. Zagoda goes well beyond the Ultra Premium minimum of 250 mg/kg, reaching over 500 mg/kg in independent lab tests. A peppery or slightly bitter finish is the natural sign of high polyphenol content.
