How this score is built

Fictional sample profile. Not a real bottle.

Fresh-cut grass, green walnut, and a firm bitterness that stops short of the Oblica beside it. A second fictional bottle from the same sample estate, so producer pages have more than one oil.

Laboratory panel

Sample measurement from the fictional Sample Laboratory. Not a certificate, and not a basis for a label claim.

Sample Laboratory · Dated 2 March 2026

Method. Illustrative panel. Not a certificate.

Polyphenols480 mg/kg

Sub-score 66.0. At or above 250 mg/kg, the figure behind the EU polyphenol claim. The claim still depends on the right fraction and the right method. This sample number is not that permission.

Free acidity0.21 %

Sub-score 90.8. Between 0.20% and 0.30%. Comfortably inside extra virgin.

Peroxide value7.4 meq O₂/kg

Sub-score 90.0. At or under 8 meq O₂/kg. Reads as a fresh oil.

K2321.71

Sub-score 79.0. At or under 1.80. Primary oxidation looks limited.

K2700.14

Sub-score 80.0. At or under 0.15. Secondary oxidation looks limited.

Questions about this score

How was Bjelica Early Harvest scored?

The sample score 66.3 uses scoring version 1.0.0 for ranking year 2026. Award points are medal × prestige × recency, the competition score is the mean of the highest three, and the laboratory is 30% of the final score when a panel exists. The rows above are the whole calculation.

Is Bjelica Early Harvest a real competition result?

No. Bjelica Early Harvest, its medals, its laboratory values, and its prices are sample records created to show the page. They are not official results from any competition.

Do the polyphenols decide the rank?

They are 40% of the laboratory score, and the laboratory is 30% of the final score when a panel exists. A high polyphenol oil with a thinner medal record stays behind a stronger set of medals. If there is no panel, polyphenols do not enter at all.
