    Abundantly agree! It’s a waste to fry olive oil, you’re just destroying the flavor. Canola is my goto for actually cooking, olive is best reserved as a dressing or occasionally a core ingredient in cold dishes like hummus.

        It is but the smoke point is very high so it beats the pants off olive oil which I consider a finishing oil. I don’t like using olive oil for cooking.

      Olive oil goes in if there’s a chance I’m going to taste it. If I don’t want to taste a hint of fruity oil in the final product, why the fuck am I using olive oil
