[question] Is it pointless buying virgin olive oil if you're just gonna heat it? (lemmy.nz)

So as I understand it, virgin olive oil is made from cold pressing olives.

If I fry or roast stuff using virgin olive oil, did I just waste my money?

Im not sure. Im seeing a lot of sources saying it retains health benefits like polyphenols. But also all of the sources are olive oil industry sites...theres a bizarrely large number of different industry PR sites for olive oil apparently.
