Summary

This product is made from organic high oleic sunflower oil, which is a processed culinary ingredient. While it is organic and high in oleic acid, which is beneficial for heart health, sunflower oil is still considered a seed oil and is more processed compared to fruit oils like extra virgin olive oil. The processing level and the nature of seed oils contribute to a moderate score, despite the organic certification.
