Oleafresh

Your natural, plant‐based ally in food protection.

More and more consumers appreciate natural alternatives in food production. The demand for “clean label” solutions—products formulated with simple, easily recognizable ingredients—has become a priority for the food industry. This trend not only responds to a pursuit of well-being but also reflects a call for sustainable practices and corporate responsibility.

Oleafresh® is a natural ingredient derived from olive fruit, obtained through aqueous extraction without the use of solvents.

Thanks to its compositional profile, Oleafresh® can be incorporated into a variety of food formulations—such as vegan products, sauces, hummus, and other sensitive matrices—without altering the sensory characteristics of the final product.

Olive extract is an excellent preservative in food according to various studies:

Antioxidant properties

Olive extract, particularly hydroxytyrosol, has powerful antioxidant properties that prevent the oxidation of lipids and other food components, which helps maintain the quality and freshness of foods.

Antimicrobial activity

This extract has been shown to be effective against a wide range of bacteria and fungi, including pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. By inhibiting the growth of these microorganisms, the risk of spoilage and foodborne illness is reduced.

Natural and safe

Unlike many synthetic preservatives, olive extract is natural, responding to growing consumer demand for healthier, clean-label products.
