Pomace Olive Oil
Summary
Pomace olive oil is a blend of refined olive-pomace oil and extra virgin olive oil. While extra virgin olive oil is a high-quality ingredient rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, the refining process of olive-pomace oil reduces its nutritional value and introduces a higher level of processing. This combination results in a product that is less desirable than pure extra virgin olive oil, but still offers some health benefits compared to seed oils.
