Culinary: Olive Oil Overview
Virgin and extra-virgin oils are best used uncooked (like in salad dressings) or cooked at low to medium temperatures. Refined and olive oil grade oils are best for high-heat uses.
Nutrition: Always look for low-sodium or unsalted broth to control the amount of sodium in your recipes. Remember to taste and adjust for salt during the cooking process.
