Butter VS Olive oil

Per 100 g. Few rows: for olive oil the database has measured fatty acids, not vitamins and minerals.

  • Scientific sources and official data
  • One measurement protocol
  • No verdicts, no conclusions

How to read the data

Values are per single product unit and measured under one protocol — Health Canada Intense (HCI). The 300 °C and 800 °C figures describe the process itself, heating and burning, not separate measurement points.
