Why Borges Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil scores EB5

Nutrition is an E because the oil is all fat, with no protein or fibre. Ingredients are a B with one item listed, and risk is a 5 on 900 kcal and 15 g saturated fat per 100 g.

How we score →

01 Nutrition densityA to E

Very low nutrient density

Protein: 0 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: Omega 3, Vitamin E
Energy: 900 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

The oil has no protein, no carbohydrate and no fibre. Fat is 100 g per 100 g, so the nutrition grade has nothing to build on and lands at the bottom.

Vitamin E is 20 mg per 100 g, and 2.8 mg in a 14 g serve, but that alone does not lift the grade.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrityA to E

Good, few concerning additives

Base: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Main fat: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sweeteners: None added
Additives: 0
Flagged: None

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

One ingredient is listed, extra virgin olive oil, with no additive, no sweetener and no hydrogenated fat. That is why this axis is strong.

No claim on the pack is a hollow promise, so nothing costs ingredient points. The olive oil percentage is not printed, a small gap on an otherwise clean list.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk1 to 5

Very high risk

Added sugar: 0 g
Sodium: 0 mg
Saturated fat: 15 g
Trans fat: 0.5 g

03 Load risk: why 5

Energy is the largest part of the risk number: 900 kcal per 100 g, or 126 kcal per serve. Saturated fat is 15 g per 100 g, three times the 5 g high line, and a serve has 2.1 g.

Trans fat is declared at 0.5 g per 100 g, and the pack prints it as under 0.5 g, which adds a little. Sugar and sodium are both 0 and play no part.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

Red flag: High saturated fat (15g)
Red flag: Contains trans fat (0.5g)

Green flags

Green flag: No added sugar
Green flag: Low sodium
Green flag: No additives

Does Borges Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil live up to its claims?

The single-ingredient name holds and the monounsaturated fat claim holds. The saturated fat and disease claims are framed generously, and a retailer page conflicts with the pack on what the oil is.

Product name
“Extra Virgin Olive Oil”
Holds
The ingredient list is extra virgin olive oil only, and the back says it is obtained directly from olives by mechanical means.
Retail listing
“Processed from refined and virgin olive oil”
Be careful
The retailer page shows a blend of refined and virgin olive oil, the pack shows extra virgin olive oil as the only ingredient. The pack is what is scored.
On the pack
“High in Mono Unsaturated fats”
Holds
The panel shows 11 g of monounsaturated fat in a 14 g serve, about 79 g per 100 g.
On the pack
“Low percentage of Saturated Fats”
Be careful
Saturated fat is 15 g per 100 g, three times the 5 g high line, and 2.1 g per serve. It is lower than the unsaturated share, but not low.
On the pack
“Lowers risk of cancer & heart diseases”
Be careful
The pack's own footnote says it is based on reports and articles in the public domain on olive oil. Nothing in this oil's nutrition panel shows it.

What's in Borges Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

One ingredient: extra virgin olive oil, with no additives. What to watch is the 900 kcal and 15 g saturated fat per 100 g, so measure it.

How we rate additives →

1 ingredient listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

The list is a single line: extra virgin olive oil. There is no blend, no flavouring and no preservative, and the olive oil percentage is not printed because nothing else is in the bottle.

Ingredients to watch

Energy densityConcern
900 kcal per 100 g, and 126 kcal in each 14 g serve. It is the biggest driver of the risk grade.
Saturated fatConcern
15 g per 100 g, three times the 5 g high line. A 14 g serve has 2.1 g.
Health claims on the backWorth watching
Claims on cancer, heart disease, blood pressure and sugar rest on public reports, not on a nutrient in the panel.
Monounsaturated fatFine
11 g in a 14 g serve, the main fat in the oil.
Vitamin EFine
20 mg per 100 g, 2.8 mg in a serve. No sugar, sodium or cholesterol.

What it doesn’t have

No protein, fibre or carbohydrate, as expected for an oil.
No polyphenol amount is printed, though antioxidants are often mentioned for olive oil.

What to know about Borges Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil

One ingredient, 900 kcal per 100 g

Borges Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes in a 1 l bottle that weighs 916 g. The ingredient list has one line: extra virgin olive oil, imported. People buy it for salad dressing, sauteing and bread toast, and the pack says it is made with cold extraction and mechanical means only. The percentage of olive oil is not printed, but a single-item list leaves nothing else it could be.

Per 100 g the oil has 900 kcal, 100 g fat and 15 g saturated fat, with no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or sodium. Vitamin E is 20 mg per 100 g. The pack's serve is 14 g, which gives 126 kcal and 2.1 g saturated fat, and it counts 67 servings in the bottle.

The name is accurate: nothing is added to the oil. The back panel goes further than the numbers, with claims about cancer, heart disease and blood pressure that rest on public reports rather than on anything in the nutrition table. CleanPlate scores it EB5.

A 1 l bottle holds 67 servings of 14 g, so the spoon is the unit that matters, not the bottle. Each spoon is 126 kcal, and the oil is all fat, so the amount you pour decides what it does to a meal far more than the oil itself.

It makes sense as the one cooking and dressing fat in a kitchen, used in measured amounts. The ingredient list is as simple as it gets, with no additives, and a serve gives 11 g of monounsaturated fat and 2.8 mg of vitamin E. The risk grade is the highest because it is scored per 100 g, where energy and saturated fat are dense.

The pack encourages using it on toast in place of butter and ghee. That changes the type of fat, but not the fact that it is pure fat, so the real trade-off is quantity, not a better-numbers swap. The pack also notes a low smoking point, so keep the heat moderate.

Who should eat Borges Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Rarely for most adults, children and anyone watching sugar or weight, as a measured spoon only. A 14 g serve has 126 kcal and no sugar.

Most adultsRarely
900 kcal per 100 g, so keep to a measured 14 g spoon at 126 kcal.

Diabetes or prediabetesRarely

126 kcal in one spoon adds up fast when poured freely.
