Can you use too much Olive oil?!
Hi all,
I was just wondering!. Olive oil is said to be the healthiest oil you can cook with!. You can even use it as a dressing, but can you actually have too much olive oil!?
Thanks

olive oil can break down in cooking (I think it has a lower flash point than vegetable oil), so probably isn't a smart call for coking (especially not virgin/extra virgin oils)!. besides which its unlikely you will apprecuiate the more subtle flavours from olive oil in coked foods

I'm currently laughing like a drain!. For years we've been told just HOW HEALTHY Olive oil is supposed to be, and now you yourself are questioning it - but the reason I'm laughing is the new Bertorelli Olive Oil spread advert - it's apparently now NOT so healthy that they have to bring out a "Light" version of it!.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it - and makes me laugh too - I'm just going to carry on with butter ! ! !Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes you can - adding too much oil (any sort of oil) to your dish will result in greasy food!. Try making a pasta sauce with too much oil and you will find it far far too rich!.
While it is said to be the healthiest of oils - the fact remains it is still fat and is high in calories!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. Olive oil is still fat - just a better type of fat!. But having too much of any type of fat is bad for you, so stick to the minimum when using it!Www@FoodAQ@Com
