PhenOlives Transforms Olive Oil Waste into Nutritious Goods
Georgia Wray Norsten — January 11, 2025PhenOlives is revolutionizing olive oil production by transforming its waste into high-value, nutritious products. With 85% of olives used in production becoming waste -- totaling over 40 million tons annually -- PhenOlives addresses this environmental challenge through a patented, chemical-free process installed directly in olive mills. This innovative system prevents oxidation and separates seeds, pulp, and black water, ensuring each component is repurposed effectively.
The company’s flagship product, 'olive flour,' is a gluten-free, high-fiber ingredient packed with antioxidants, offering health benefits comparable to olive oil. 'PhenOlives is the only company in the world with a solution for stopping oxidation in olive oil production,' says CEO Chen Lev Ari.
By upcycling waste into sustainable food ingredients, the company eliminates the need for new crops and supports greener food chains. With patents secured in Israel and pending across Europe, PhenOlives is driving sustainability innovation in the olive oil industry.
