Summary

This product contains a blend of extra virgin olive oil and sunflower seed oil. While extra virgin olive oil is a high-quality fat with beneficial properties, the inclusion of sunflower seed oil, which is high in omega-6 fatty acids and often highly processed, detracts from the overall healthiness. Additionally, the use of natural chilli flavouring, a processed ingredient, further impacts the product's quality. The processing level and ingredient choices result in a moderate score.
