View release history

Q600 is Quartz Hill's most concentrated early-harvest extra virgin olive oil. Its medium fruitiness is matched by pronounced bitterness and pungency, giving the oil a bold, peppery finish.

The oil is sold in dark, UV-protective 100ml, 250ml and 500ml bottles and Q600 is positioned as a small-batch daily finishing oil for taking by the spoonful or adding to breakfast, smoothies and salads instead of as a cooking oil.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Analysis

Fruitiness 4.8
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 5
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 4.8
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 7.9
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Phenols & structure

High phenolic

The latest release lists 634 (unit not recorded) total phenols.

Why choose it

Higher-phenol oils often suit customers who enjoy assertive bitterness and peppery pungency, and phenols can contribute to oxidative stability.

Worth knowing

A total-phenol result alone does not establish eligibility for a specific regulated health claim.

Evidence not recorded634

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.
