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).
Like olive oil, it is low in saturated fat, and the Food and Drug Administration claims that it may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Unlike olive oil, canola can stand up to high heat (up to 475Â°F) and has a neutral flavor, making it a good choice for searing or frying. Nut and seed oils also have high smoke points, but have a strong flavor that you may not want in your food.
