Virgin olive oils
Very Good

Virgin olive oils are minimally processed, retaining most of their natural antioxidants and nutrients. They are rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, which support cardiovascular health. The cold-pressing method preserves these beneficial compounds.

Benefits

Rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants that support heart health and provide anti-inflammatory properties.

Refined olive oils
Neutral

Refined olive oils are processed to remove impurities and improve shelf life. This process can reduce the antioxidant content compared to virgin oils. However, they still provide a stable source of monounsaturated fats.

Benefits
