The IQO certification

The IQO (Index Qualitatis Oleum) certification ensures maximum transparency and quality for your extra virgin olive oil (EVO). Using the NVS algorithm, IQO evaluates the essential chemical-nutritional parameters, such as the presence of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and other molecules that contribute to health and well-being.

IQO certified extra virgin olive oils

EVO oils certified by IQO must meet strict chemical standards, achieving a minimum score of 80/100 on the NVS algorithm. This score is based on scientific criteria, including the evaluation of phenolic compounds, tocopherols, and other indicators of nutritional quality and optimal preservation. Choosing an IQO-certified oil means selecting a product of excellence, aligned with EFSA guidelines for nutraceutical oils.
