Question 1

Why does this olive oil receive a Nutri‑Score of B, and which nutrients influence that rating?

Accepted Answer

The Nutri‑Score algorithm awards points for high energy, saturated fat, sugars and salt, and deducts points for fruits, vegetables, nuts, fibers and proteins. This olive oil scores well because it contains no sugars or salt and is 100 % fruit‑based, but the high energy (900 kcal) and saturated fat (15 g per 100 ml) prevent it from reaching the top A grade, resulting in a B.

Question 2

Is virgin olive oil suitable for low‑carb or ketogenic diets, and how does its fat composition support such regimes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, virgin olive oil is ideal for low‑carb and ketogenic diets because it is almost entirely fat, providing 100 g of fat per 100 ml with negligible carbohydrates and sugars. Its high proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids (about 79 g) offers a heart‑healthy fat source while keeping net carbs effectively zero.

Question 3

What is the best way to store opened virgin olive oil to preserve its flavor and nutritional quality?

Accepted Answer

After opening, keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat; refrigeration is optional but may cause clouding, which clears when the oil returns to room temperature. Using a dark glass or tin container can further protect the oil from oxidation.
