Type — Single varietal extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) — Chilean Arbequina

270.8 ppm biophenols places this oil comfortably above the general health-benefit threshold — delivered in Redstone's mildest, most approachable package. At this level, Chilean Arbequina is not merely a smooth cooking oil — it carries real antioxidant credentials that clinical research has studied and validated, without the intensity of the collection's boldest oils.

Heart health — At 270.8 ppm biophenols, this oil delivers oleocanthal and oleacein — the two most studied cardiovascular polyphenols in olive oil — at a concentration above the general health benefit threshold. Both compounds are shown to support healthy cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, protect endothelial function, and support cardiovascular health in ways that the European Food Safety Authority has authorized specific health claims for.

Antioxidant-rich — At 270.8 ppm, this oil is above the 250 ppm threshold associated with significant clinical antioxidant activity, and comfortably above the 200 ppm general health benefit recommendation — meaningful antioxidant density in a genuinely mild, easy-drinking oil.

Anti-inflammatory — Oleocanthal at 270.8 ppm concentration contributes a mild natural anti-inflammatory effect through diet. The gentle peppery finish you experience when tasting this oil neat is oleocanthal's sensory signal, present but subtle. Research published in leading journals has linked high-polyphenol EVOO consumption to reduced markers of chronic systemic inflammation and measurable reduction in oxidative stress — effects that are concentration-dependent, and this Arbequina delivers them at a meaningful, everyday-friendly level.

Where 270.8 ppm Arbequina stands in the collection:
270.8 ppm vs. the collection — this places Arbequina as Redstone's mildest single-varietal by both flavor and biophenol count, below Peruvian Barnea (412.5 ppm), Portuguese Cobrançosa (507 ppm), Peruvian Coratina (606.8 ppm), and Tunisian Chetoui (733.3 ppm) —

an approachable, everyday choice for those who prefer subtlety

270.8 ppm vs. the market — most grocery store EVOOs test 50–150 ppm; most premium EVOOs reach 200–400 ppm; 270.8 ppm places this oil solidly within the premium tier despite its mild flavor profile

A different harvest philosophy — unlike Redstone's boldest early-harvest oils, this Arbequina is picked at a stage of ripeness suited to bringing out mildness and floral character rather than maximum polyphenol concentration — a deliberate trade-off for approachability

Arbequina's natural gentleness — the Arbequina variety is naturally one of the mildest olive varieties known, prized worldwide for producing smooth, food-friendly oils that pair with a wide range of dishes

DAG score 96.0 — UP Certified freshness verification confirming this oil is genuinely fresh, not degraded

Everyday use — with a 406°F smoke point, the highest in the Redstone collection, this oil works well for both daily cooking and finishing, making it easy to build a meaningful polyphenol habit without changing how you cook

On the palate

Chilean Arbequina opens gently — a pleasant floral nose announces itself first, soft and inviting. A delicate leafy green center follows, light and fresh rather than sharp or bitter. Creamy almond notes emerge through the mid-palate, adding a smooth, nutty roundness. The finish is a lingering, gentle pepper — present but never assertive. Rated 4.3 fruitiness, 3.1 bitterness, and 3.3 pungency on our taste panel, this is Redstone's mildest single-varietal, delivering 270.8 ppm biophenols in a genuinely approachable package.

This is the oil for people who want a smooth, everyday EVOO that never overpowers a dish. The oil you reach for when cooking for a crowd, dressing delicate greens, or introducing someone to real olive oil for the first time.

The story behind Chilean Arbequina

Arbequina is a small-fruited variety originally from Catalonia, Spain, now grown around the world for its gentle, floral character and reliable productivity. This Chilean-grown Arbequina thrives in Chile's Mediterranean-like climate, one of the New World's most respected olive oil growing regions.

Unlike Redstone's boldest early-harvest oils, this Arbequina was harvested in May 2026 at a stage of ripeness suited to bringing out its natural mildness and floral character. At 270.8 ppm biophenols, it still sits comfortably above the general antioxidant benefit threshold, delivered in a smooth, approachable package.

Cold-pressed shortly after harvest and UP Certified at a 96.0 DAG score, this oil's freshness and integrity are preserved from grove to bottle.

Great for everyday use

With a 406°F smoke point — the highest in the Redstone collection — this oil is well suited to everyday cooking as well as raw use. Use it for sauteing, roasting, dressing salads, or finishing a dish where you want flavor to support rather than dominate.

Caring for your bottle

• Store in a cool, dark place — a pantry or cabinet away from heat and direct sunlight
• Keep away from light and heat, both of which degrade flavor and freshness over time
• Best consumed within 18 months of the May 2026 crush date for peak flavor and freshness
• Once opened, use within 60–90 days for optimal freshness
• Do not refrigerate — unnecessary and can temporarily cloud the oil
• Seal firmly and immediately after each use

Fresh Chilean Arbequina should smell floral and green, transitioning to a soft almond note. The pepper finish should be gentle and lingering, never sharp. If the aroma fades or turns dull, it has passed its prime.
