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).
It's also important to stay within daily guidelines for fat intake. One tablespoon of olive oil has 119 calories, which come entirely from fat. Guidelines from the American Heart Association recommend limiting your daily fat consumption to less than 25 to 35 percent of your total calories. One downside to olive oil is that it contains significantly less omega-3 fatty acids than other vegetable oils, especially canola, flaxseed, walnut and soybean oils.
