How this score is built

Fictional sample profile. Not a real bottle.

A correct, middle-intensity Frantoio. The only sample medal is a 2023 bronze, kept so the bottom of the table shows what recency does to an old result.

Method. Illustrative panel. Not a certificate.

Polyphenols340 mg/kg

Sub-score 38.0. 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 acidity0.30 %

Sub-score 76.9. Between 0.20% and 0.30%. Comfortably inside extra virgin.

Peroxide value10.2 meq O₂/kg

Sub-score 70.0. Between 8 and 12. Still fine, no longer young.

The producer

Southern Light

A fictional Victorian grove whose only sample medal is old, so the recency factor can be seen doing its job.

Questions about this score

How was Victorian Frantoio scored?

The sample score 24.3 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 Victorian Frantoio a real competition result?

No. Victorian Frantoio, 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.
