Be careful, cooking on high heat with extra virgin olive oil can make food taste bitter

[acamp7]

Extra virgin olive oil is for salads and cooking food on a much lower temp. If youre baking something or frying an egg, use normal olive oil. It is a slight difference but it will make your food much tastier

If you heat olive oil too much, and it starts to smoke, that means that you've caused it to go rancid. Once oil gets rancid, it gets bitter. Olive oil has a very low smoking point, and this is something to think about when you cook.
