All the oils lose their properties when heated, but virgin olive oil is the one that best copes the high temperaturas and can reach 180 degrees centigrade without degrading, that is much more than any other oil found on the market. When frying any meat or fish with a virgin olive oil we avoid the production of free radicals and toxic aldehydes that are released when other types of fats such as sunflower or seed oils are burned. In addition, the natural antioxidants of the oil delay the oxidative degradation of the oil. The fried with virgin olive oil will be tastier, healthier and also the oil will last longer.
