Does olive oil lose its benefits when being cooked??
May 4, 2013

Dr. Thierry Yazbek Surgery
Olive oil loses its benefits when heated?
Excessively heating olive oil will evaporate the alcohols and esters which make up its delicate taste and fragrance. Heating olive oil will not change its health aspects, only the flavor.

Olive oil and virgin olive oil are both highly monounsaturated oils and therefore resistant to oxidation and hydrogenation.
