FAQ
Why packets and a bottle?
Your bottle starts oxidizing the moment you open it. Light and air turn nice EVOO into expensive salad dressing within weeks. Our packets stay laboratory-fresh until you snap them. Plus, 70% of bottled olive oil is mislabeled or fake anyway. We solved both problems.
Most American households use about 1 liter of olive oil per year. That means a standard 750mL or 1L bottle sits open on the counter for 6–12 months - well past the 3–6 month window where extra virgin olive oil is at peak flavor and polyphenol content.
Our 250mL bottle is sized to how people actually use premium EVOO: a finishing oil, not a deep-fryer. You open it, you use it, you finish it while it's still at its best. No degraded oil slowly going rancid in the back of your kitchen.
It's not a smaller bottle. It's the right bottle.
Will I actually notice a difference?
Probably not tomorrow. Hoji is meant to be compound interest for your cells, not a quick fix. Harvard tracked 90,000 people for 28 years - those who took 7g+ daily had 29% less neurodegenerative disease. That's the difference you're building toward. Read more on our Health Benefits page.
How do I know your olive oil is real?
We publish our lab results on the website. Full transparency on purity, polyphenol content, and freshness markers. Most brands won't even test, let alone share results. We trace our olives to the source - family-owned groves in Andalusia, Spain.
Is this just another supplement?
No. It's extra virgin olive oil, sealed fresh. Harvard studied the food, not a pill. Which is so important. Olive oil is a whole food - its benefits come from the full profile of compounds working together, not from any single isolated ingredient like hydroxytyrosol. That's why we sell olive oil, not supplements. We just made it convenient enough to take daily without the oxidation problem of bottles. Real food with real benefits – not another hyped up wellness product.
Why is it more expensive than bottled olive oil?
Because lab testing, quality sourcing, and oxidation-proof packaging cost a little more to produce. Hoji EasySnap pouches guarantee maximum freshness and potency, and are dosed for daily intake.
