^That is correct; there are olive oils that can handle high temperatures. I use it for pan searing ribeye steaks.

Coconut oil is still my favorite though. Lends a great taste to the food you cook it in, it's medium chain fatty acids are excellent for mental health, and it's my most used hair care product. Go for the flaky white organic stuff though...the rest is gross.

Olive oil is great but for cooking coconut oil is the best. Olive for taste, coconut for the rest. Coconut oil has been showed to prevent Alzheimers to a degree and also to treat it, great for the brain.
