This study presents the profile of phenolic extracts from different Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOOs) from Malta and is the first study that characterizes the phenolic profile of the Maltese EVOOs Bidni (B) and Malti (M) using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). The total phenolic content (TPC), ortho diphenolic content (TdPC) and flavonoid content (TFC) were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteau assay, the Arnow’s assay and the Aluminium Chloride method respectively. Results show that the B variety had the highest TPC, TdPC and TFC. Using LC-MS analysis, over 30 phenolic compounds were identified belonging to different classes of phenolic compounds.
