Use an extra virgin olive oil when you want its wonderful flavor and health benefits. Did you know... Olive oil is a great oil for cooking. The strong flavored olive oils can be used for frying fish or other strong flavored ingredients. A mellow late harvest Mission variety oil could be used in baking a cake. Olive oil has a high smoke point, 410 degrees F, and doesn't degrade as quickly as many other oils do with repeated high heating. An extra virgin olive oil has a lower acidity and will tend to have more anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants in olive oil may help prevent heart disease and cancer, so sticking with extra virgin seems to make sense!
Freezing olive oil will not harm it; it will actually prolong it's nutritional benefits and its flavor. So, freeze that extra Pesto!
