Does baking destroy extra virgin olive oil?

Baking with extra virgin olive oil can be done, but it's important to keep in mind that the oil has a low smoke point compared to other oils. Heating extra virgin olive oil too high can cause it to smoke and break down, which can affect its flavor and nutritional quality.

For baking, it's generally recommended to use oils with higher smoke points, such as canola oil or vegetable oil, especially for recipes that require high temperatures. If you do choose to bake with extra virgin olive oil, it's best to use it in recipes that require lower temperatures and shorter baking times to minimize the risk of damaging the oil.

Caprese salad (insalata caprese)

[useless-catalanfacts]

Allioli (which literally means “garlic and oil” in Catalan) is a traditional sauce from the Western Mediterranean, very commonly used in the cuisine of the Catalan Countries. It��s also used in Occitania, and less commonly in Sicily, Malta, Aragon and Andalusia.

(Also, thanks to allioli the Catalan population is probably eternally safe from vampires at this point)

Is it fine to use Delmonte Extra Light Olive Oil for cooking during the first trimester of pregnancy as it contains a small amount of alcohol?

I am not a medical professional, but I can provide some general information. During pregnancy, it's essential to be cautious about the substances you consume, including the ingredients in cooking oils. Olive oil, including extra light olive oil, is generally considered safe for consumption during pregnancy.

Regarding the small amount of alcohol in some cooking oils, it's important to note that the alcohol content is typically very low and is unlikely to pose a risk to a developing fetus. The alcohol is present in trace amounts and is often used as a solvent during the extraction process. Cooking with a small amount of olive oil that contains trace alcohol is generally considered safe.

However, individual sensitivities and health conditions can vary, and it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. If you have specific concerns about the Delmonte Extra Light Olive Oil you mentioned or any other product, your healthcare provider can provide guidance based on your health history and individual circumstances.

It's also advisable to choose cooking oils that are known for their quality and are produced by reputable brands. If you have any doubts or concerns, consulting with your healthcare provider can help ensure that you make informed choices during pregnancy.
