Oil Myths & Facts
The best oil for frying is always Extra Virgin Olive Oil, because it retains its properties even at high temperatures — whereas seed oils tend to break down at high heat.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: a friend for your health
It has a cancer-preventive effect: regular consumption of Extra Virgin Olive Oil helps prevent the formation of tumour cells, because the antioxidant polyphenols within the oil act as antioxidants against this disease.
