Summary
This product contains a blend of refined and virgin olive oils. While virgin olive oil is beneficial due to its monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, the presence of refined olive oil indicates a higher level of processing, which reduces the overall nutritional quality. The processing level limits the score, as it is not as pure or nutrient-rich as high-quality extra virgin olive oils.
