Is olive oil safe for cooking? I've heard the smoke point is too low.Updated 3 years ago

Quality extra virgin olive oils generally have a higher smoke point than many other oil options, making them great for use in cooking. Depending on the quality, extra virgin olive oil begins smoking between 365 and 410 degrees, with more quality oils on the higher end of the scale. In fact, even when heated to smoking, extra virgin olive oil is more resistant to degradation than other edible oils. So you can be sure the high-quality extra virgin olive oils you find on our website will hold up well for almost all cooking applications. Learn more about cooking with olive oil.
