FAQ
Unless you cook with very high heat (heat beyond what most residential stoves can even achieve), you can use olive oil for all of your cooking. Extra virgin olive oil does lose its great taste when it’s heated to a point, so you might want to choose a more economical grade when you cook above a low/medium heat. If you’re not too concerned about the cost, go ahead and use extra virgin for everything.
