Summary

This product contains both extra virgin olive oil and refined olive oil. While extra virgin olive oil is a high-quality monounsaturated fat with beneficial antioxidants, the presence of refined olive oil indicates a higher level of processing. The blend of oils reduces the overall purity and quality compared to single-origin extra virgin olive oils, which are less processed and retain more health benefits.
