Re: Rapeseed Oil
Does anyone know how Extra Virgin Olive Oil is treated to get to low acidity?
According to Wikipedia the smoke points are as follows
Olive Oil 380ºF or 193ºC
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 375ºF or 191ºC
Extra Virgin low acidity Olive Oil 405ºF or 207ºC
The reason I ask is if lowering the acidity involves additional processing it may reduce some of the health benefits. On the other hand using Olive Oil in a dish that is cooked in the oven is risky since 375º or 380ºF are normal cooking temperatures.
