Here is what the International Olive Oil Council (IOOC) has to say about frying food with olive oil: When heated, olive oil is the most stable fat, which means it stands up well to high frying temperatures. Its high smoke point (410ÂºF or 210ÂºC) is well above the ideal temperature for frying food (356ÂºF or 180ÂºC).
Olive oil should be eaten raw. It is not heat stable. Butter is the much better option to cook with, or ghee as it has a higher smoke point. While butter is safe to heat, olive oil easily oxidizes at higher temperatures. Both oils are healthy oils. One is indeed more nutrient dense, but both are safe to consume.
