Question

Is it OK to fry with extra virgin olive oil?

Answer 1

Yes you can deep fry and fry foods using extra virgin olive oil which is a very healthy cooking oil to deep fry and fry foods with.

Extra virgin olive oil is healthier than other frying oils as well.

The smoke point for extra virgin olive oils is 410 degrees Fahrenheit which is okay for many types of cooking.

Answer 2

Virgin Olive Oil is fine to cook and fry with but it does degrade at temperatures above 410 F degrees but cooking in temperatures of 410 F and lower is fine to fry foods with Virgin Olive Oil.
