Why does Carapelli Extra Virgin Olive Oil have a Nutri-Score of B instead of the top grade A?

The Nutri-Score algorithm penalizes products with high levels of total and saturated fat; although the oil is free of sugars, salt and protein, its 100 g of fat per 100 g, including about 14 g of saturated fat, lowers the score to B rather than A.

How does the high fat content, especially the saturated fat, of this oil affect a heart-healthy or weight-management diet?

While the oil's monounsaturated fats are linked to cardiovascular benefits, its overall high calorie and saturated-fat content means it should be used in moderation, particularly for those watching calorie intake or aiming to lower saturated-fat consumption.

Is Carapelli Extra Virgin Olive Oil suitable for vegan, keto, halal, and gluten-free diets?

Yes, the oil contains only olive oil, making it vegan, gluten-free, and compatible with keto and most halal dietary practices, as it has no animal-derived ingredients or gluten.
