The Kalamon variety has the most Oleocanthal (very beneficial for health) of any variety in the world, when it is oiled, according to Prokopis Magiatis, professor of Pharmacy at the University of Athens, who spoke about the latest clinical and scientific data on the beneficial role of high phenolic olive oil in health, at the 4th Olive Oil & and table olives Festival that took place in Kalamata in 2018. This is one of the main conclusions of the Aristoil program so far, as he said referring to the oiling of the Kalamon variety, but also to the oil of Koroneiki and Athenolia, but emphasizing that 72% of the samples of Greek olive oils that have been examined, may have a claim to health. The highest content of “Oleocanthal” in fact – the main privilege of the Greek varieties as he said – is observed in the Region of Peloponnese. He insists that olive oil will find its place in pharmacies and as a medicine, while it has already been included as a dietary supplement.
