Olive Oil
Summary
This product contains both refined and extra virgin olive oil, which provides a mix of high-quality monounsaturated fats and antioxidants beneficial for heart health. However, the presence of refined olive oil indicates a higher level of processing compared to pure extra virgin olive oil, which slightly reduces its overall health score. The combination of these oils results in a product that is still relatively healthy but not as optimal as a single-ingredient, minimally processed oil.
