For years people were told not to cook with EVOO.

But heat stability is about more than just smoke point.

Fresh extra virgin olive oil naturally contains polyphenols and antioxidants that help slow oxidation during cooking — which is why freshness, harvest, and polyphenol levels matter so much.

Not all olive oils behave the same under heat.

If your olive oil doesn’t make you feel anything…
that’s a sign.

A good extra virgin olive oil should have
fruitiness, bitterness, and a peppery finish —
that slight kick in the back of your throat?

That’s not a flaw.
That’s what you’re looking for.

Because what you taste
is directly connected to what the oil still carries.
