Olive Oil is made from extracting oil from green olives. The First press (mechanical) is really flavor full and should be use only for finishing and vinaigrette's and not for cooking since it has a very low flash point (Temperature at which the oil burn and become highly unhealthy). Cooking oils are selected for their capacity to sustain high heat ex: canola, refined peanut oil, corn.


My favorites would be Grape seed for cooking (extremely healthy and high flash point ) and extra virgin olive oil, sesame, hazelnut, walnuts, Truffle Oil (oil infused with Truffle mushrooms) for seasonings and finishing. Bon Appetit

Cooking oil could be any kind of oil, Vegetable, canola, or even Olive oil. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is used for flavoring. It is very dark yellow. The lighter the color, the lighter the flavor.
