Olive oil can be used in high heat cooking like deep frying because it contains manousaturated fatty acids, which are actually resistant to heating. Extra Virgin oil, has a high volume of antioxidants and Vitamin E, in which they help fight off oxidation when heated. Vitamin E and many other antioxidants act as guard and shield the oil from damage when it's heated at very high levels.
