[question] Is it pointless buying virgin olive oil if you're just gonna heat it? (lemmy.nz)

So as I understand it, virgin olive oil is made from cold pressing olives.

If I fry or roast stuff using virgin olive oil, did I just waste my money?

you can use it gently, the best EVOO you would just want to leave as is, but the lower quality ones would be fine for say the low temp saute you might do for a puttanesca or whatever.
