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).
When extra-virgin olive oil is heated above 350 ÃÂ°C (662 ÃÂ°F), the unrefined particles within the oil get burned. This leads to deteriorated taste and even toxicity[citation needed]. Also, the pronounced taste of extra-virgin olive oil is not a taste most people like to associate with their deep fried foods.
