What factors give this extra virgin olive oil a Nutri‑Score of B?

The B rating comes from its zero sugars and salts, 100 % fruit content that provides the maximum positive points, and the high energy and saturated‑fat content that add negative points; the net balance yields a Nutri‑Score of 0, which corresponds to grade B.

Is this oil compatible with vegan, keto, paleo, or gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the oil is completely plant‑based, contains no carbohydrates, gluten, or animal products, and its high fat, low carb profile fits vegan, keto, and paleo dietary patterns, though those limiting saturated fat should use it in moderation.

How should extra virgin olive oil be stored after opening to maintain its flavor and nutritional quality?

Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight; a dark glass container is ideal, and refrigeration can be used if the oil will be stored for many months, though it may become cloudy, this does not affect quality and will clear once returned to room temperature.
