Polyphenols are natural antioxidants in olive oil that enhance its stability, health benefits, and flavor. Higher levels indicate fresher oils with a more intense taste.
Pairing Explanation: If your fish is more, well, fishy, or has that strong briny taste you find with anchovies, your olive oil pairing needs to be stronger, with that bitter/peppery taste you get from high-polyphenol oils. Like with fatty meats, the oil sharpens the dish and cuts through the strong fishy flavours.
