Here is what the International Olive Oil Council (IOOC) has to say about frying food with olive oil: When heated, olive oil is the most stable fat, which means it stands up well to high frying temperatures. Its high smoke point (410ÂºF or 210ÂºC) is well above the ideal temperature for frying food (356ÂºF or 180ÂºC).
Note, though, that the olive oil was probably refined or light (otherwise they would have called it âvirginâ or âextra virginâ) and thus devoid of significant phenolics with antioxidant properties. Also, the oils were heated at 210 degrees C (410 degrees F) for eight hours, which seems excessive. The home cook sauteeing some shrimp and onions in white wine and EVOO is unlikely to hit 210 degrees C, let alone stay there for eight hours. Youâre probably aware of the oft-cited benefits of olive oil on blood lipids.
