1st place in the International Competition The World's Best Healthy EVOO 2024/2025
- Navarra is consolidating its position on the international scene with the best extra virgin olive oil due to its healthy properties.
- ECOPROLIVE's pitted extraction method and early harvesting key to leading healthy quality.
Navarra, May 2025 - ECOPROLIVE Edición Limitada Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced in Navarra, has been awarded First Prize in the World's Best Healthy EVOO Competition (WBHEC), the only competition in the world that exclusively evaluates the health properties of EVOO.
This prestigious recognition is awarded on the basis of the oil's health properties, derived from three key molecules: oleocanthal, biophenols and monounsaturated fatty acids.
Oleocanthal is a potent natural anti-inflammatory compound that acts in a similar way to ibuprofen, providing protection against diseases such as arthritis, Alzheimer's and even certain types of cancer. This biophenol is responsible for the characteristic spicy flavour of EVOO.
Biophenols, a family of phenolic polyphenols, stand out for their natural antioxidant properties, which give the oil a fruity taste, help fight cellular ageing and strengthen the immune system.
Finally, the oil's fatty acid profile, led by oleic acid, contributes significantly to cardiovascular health and the reduction of LDL cholesterol, thus strengthening its health value.
ECOPROLIVE Limited Edition oil is made from Picual-Arróniz olives, using an early harvest and an innovative pitless cold extraction method. Thanks to this process, ECOPROLIVE has climbed to the top of the podium after five consecutive years ranking among the top five in the world in the WBHEC.erol LDL, thus strengthening its health value.
Unlike other international competitions, the WBHEC focuses exclusively on the healthy quality of olive oil, assessing objective scientific criteria related to cardiovascular, metabolic and anti-inflammatory health, with no focus on taste or marketing aspects.
ECOPROLIVE is committed to innovation without losing its traditional essence, demonstrating that great taste can go hand in hand with a highly healthy product. Its unique pitted extraction method reduces waste and optimises the production process, taking Navarrese excellence to the top of the international scene.
