How this score is built

Fictional sample profile. Not a real bottle.

Bitter chicory, green tomato, and a pungency that stays in the throat. The sample lab panel is intentionally higher than the medal stack, so the page shows a chemistry lead that does not automatically become first place.

Sample Laboratory · Dated 18 February 2026

Method. Illustrative panel. Not a certificate.

Polyphenols760 mg/kg

Sub-score 100.0. High for the oils people argue about. Still not, by itself, a legal health claim.

Free acidity0.16 %

Sub-score 98.5. At or under 0.20%. Typical of careful, fast milling.

Peroxide value5.8 meq O₂/kg

Sub-score 100.0. At or under 8 meq O₂/kg. Reads as a fresh oil.

K2321.58

Sub-score 92.0. At or under 1.80. Primary oxidation looks limited.

K2700.12

Sub-score 100.0. At or under 0.15. Secondary oxidation looks limited.

The producer

Terra di Bari

A fictional Puglian mill built around a Coratina sample with a deliberately high polyphenol panel. Terra di Bari is also the name of a real denomination; this producer is not part of it.

Questions about this score

How was Coratina Notte scored?

The sample score 77.1 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 Coratina Notte a real competition result?

No. Coratina Notte, 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.
