Many people worry about its low smoke point or that heating it makes it unhealthy. However, scientific studies prove the opposite.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"the-fact-title\"><span class=\"the-fact-word\">The Fact<\/span> &#8211; In reality, extra virgin olive oil is not only safe to cook with but it\u2019s one of the healthiest and most stable oils you can use in the kitchen.<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"margin-top-p\">Why Extra Virgin Olive Oil is Safe for Cooking<\/h2>\r\n<p>Extra virgin olive oil is the juice of the olive fruit, produced solely by mechanical means, without having undergone any chemical or other treatment. It is naturally rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, which protect it from oxidation and improve its thermal stability.<\/p>\r\n<p>In studies comparing EVOO with other popular cooking oils such as sunflower, canola and soybean oil, EVOO performed best under heat. Even when heated to 240 \u00b0C for 20 minutes or kept at 180 \u00b0C for 6 hours, extra virgin olive oil produced the lowest levels of harmful compounds.<\/p>\r\n<p>This makes it an excellent choice for:<\/p>\r\n<ul class=\"pairing-guide\">\r\n  <li>Frying and saut\u00e9ing<\/li>\r\n  <li>Roasting vegetables and meats<\/li>\r\n  <li>Baking recipes<\/li>\r\n  <li>Everyday pan cooking<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p class=\"fact-last-paragraph\">So if you\u2019ve ever wondered, \u201cCan I fry with olive oil?\u201d the answer is yes, and it\u2019s healthier than frying with refined oils or seed oils.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Understanding the Smoke Point of Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/h2>\r\n<p>The smoke point is the temperature at which an oil starts to burn and release smoke and it is often misunderstood as the limit for safe cooking. Many believe extra virgin olive oil has a low smoke point, but this is a misconception.<\/p>\r\n<p>High-quality extra virgin olive oil typically has a smoke point between 190\u00b0C and 220\u00b0C (374\u00b0F\u2013428\u00b0F), depending on its freshness and purity. That means it\u2019s perfectly suitable for most home cooking methods, including frying, saut\u00e9ing and roasting.<\/p>\r\n<p>Even more important than smoke point is oxidative stability, how well the oil resists breaking down and forming harmful compounds when heated. Thanks to its rich antioxidants and monounsaturated fats, EVOO is among the most stable cooking oils available.<\/p>\r\n<p>So go ahead, use Extra Virgin Olive Oil in your frying pan or oven. It keeps its natural goodness and flavor beautifully, even at higher temperatures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"margin-top-p\">The Flavor and Health Benefits of Cooking with EVOO<\/h2>\r\n<p>Unlike refined vegetable or seed oils, EVOO is packed with:<\/p>\r\n<ul class=\"pairing-guide\">\r\n \t<li><strong>Monounsaturated fats:<\/strong> heart-healthy fats that reduce bad cholesterol<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Vitamin E:<\/strong> a natural antioxidant<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Polyphenols:<\/strong> anti-inflammatory compounds that protect your body and your food during cooking<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Cooking with EVOO doesn\u2019t just keep your meals healthier, it also enhances flavor with a distinctive aroma and taste.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"margin-top-p\">Why Choose Olive Epitome for buying Extra Virgin Olive Oil?<\/h2>\r\n<p>At Olive Epitome, we bring you premium-quality EVOOs that are carefully harvested and cold-pressed to preserve all of its natural antioxidants.

Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality of olive oil with a perfect aroma and taste, rich in natural antioxidants. These combat oxidation and improve thermal stability.
