But you shouldn't fry at high temperature as it ruins the flavour.

Olive oil has a high smoke point, 410 degrees F, and doesn't degrade as quickly as many other oils do with repeated high heating.

Don't fry with extra virgin - just use the normal stuff - extra virgin on salads.

Although you can fry with extra virgin olive oil the consensus of opinion seems to be that this is a waste. Extra virgin olive oil is more expensive and heating it will reduce its healthy properties.
