Redstone Olive Oil carries Ultra Premium (UP) Certification — the world's highest olive oil standard. UP oils require free fatty acids below 0.3% (vs. 0.8% for standard EVOO), peroxide values under 9, and verified polyphenol levels. Every batch is independently tested by Modern Olives Laboratory with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Look for a harvest date, free acidity of 0.8% or less, dark packaging, and third-party certification. Real EVOO tastes fresh, fruity, and peppery. Redstone meets the Ultra Premium standard — independently lab-verified for purity, chemistry, and authenticity — so every bottle is guaranteed genuine.

Extra virgin olive oil is cold-pressed from fresh olives with no heat or chemicals, preserving natural antioxidants and polyphenols. Regular olive oil is refined — stripped of flavor and nutrients. Redstone goes further, meeting Ultra Premium Certification standards above even standard EVOO for purity and health benefit.

Ultra Premium EVOO supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and provides powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Rich in oleic acid, it promotes healthy cholesterol and is central to the Mediterranean diet. Redstone's UP Certification verifies polyphenol content and freshness — ensuring you receive the full nutritional benefit in every bottle.

Yes. Extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point above 425°F, making it ideal for sautéing, roasting, and baking. Its high polyphenol content and monounsaturated fat structure make it one of the most heat-stable cooking oils available.

Store in a cool, dark pantry away from heat — never near the stove. Keep tightly sealed to limit air exposure. Redstone's dark packaging reduces photo-oxidation by up to 90%. For peak flavor use within 6-8 weeks of opening.
