I always get the cold cut and my choice of veggies. I have them put olive oil and a small amout of vinegar on mine. I love it and have always wondered what type of olive oil they use or if it's a blend? I always forget to ask them lol! Thanks! :)What kind of olive oil is put on Subway sandwiches?
Canola or vegetable oil if their low on the real olive oil. lol
They may have their own brand of olive oil. I am sure it's not the real expensive kind.

Is it OK to fry with olive oil?
I've heard you're not supposed to - why is that then?Is it OK to fry with olive oil?
Yes it burns easily - use for gentle sauteeing, not fast frying. But also olive oil contains delicate monounsaturated oils which are good for your health and are destroyed by heat. So I use a cheap olive oil for cooking and a posh one for salad. I think the rule not to do it is because it is a waste of good oil, not because it does any harmIs it OK to fry with olive oil?
I only use olive oil for everything, salads, frying chips, omelettes etc, it is healthier than using sunflower oil don't worry to much about burning it, i've never done that yet and been using it for years. Yes it is more expensive especially in England, move to Spain oil is cheaper lol.
its the best natural fat to use - i use it for frying all of the time...so yes, you can.
I have heard this too, but this is only because it is unable to withstand the high heat that vegetable oil can. However, you can do it at a slightly lower heat and if you want to do something faster just add a dash of veg oil with it!
Same goes with butter. Add the butter, but add oil too to prevent the butter from catching.
olive iol has a lower smoke point than lighter oils ( veg, canola, ect) it can break down at higher temps... best to use olive oil for sauteeing and if your deep frying then use a lighter oil :)
it is more expensive to fry with olive oil but it is the healthiest. use extra virgin olive.use it to sautee, deep fry, on salads. whatever you wish!
I heard once that when olive oil burns the smoke can be carcinogenic. Don't know if there's any truth in it though....
Yeah olive oil is way much healthier than normal oil so yeah it's fine
Whoever told you that you are not supposed to fry with olive oil is WRONG! Olive oil is the healthiest oil that you can find with a great taste. In Greece, we only use in our houses olive oil. They say that if you drink a little every day you get healthier and it is good for your heart too. So, do not hesitate using in everything olive oil .
I always use olive oil, but not for deep frying.
For deep frying, (which isn't very often,) I use vegetable oil.
I would not fry in Olive Oil, to me personally the odor is objectionable, I use it in salads, with others seasonings, and then the odor is not noticed at all especially with garlic, which has a pungent taste and odor. Italians use it with parsley in a dish and one can dip the the bread in it, as we use butter. It is tolerable to statute onions etc in Olive oil. We do not fry foods any more, it is healthier to bake, or grill, or stew meat . If you are considering deep frying like Deep fried Potatoes, reconsider and you can brush Olive Oil on the Potatoes, and then bake them in the Oven, and perhaps even add some pepper or other spices that you like. Bon Apetit!
Fry in olive oil anything but eggs...gives them a bad taste.
I shallow fry and deep fry with Olive oil .
It's okay to fry with olive oil, but only at a low temperature. At higher temperatures it burns and makes your food taste awful. it tends to leave a flavour on the food anyway, even if it doesn't burn.
This is a good site for olive oil information.

';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. Use a cheaper olive oil which doesn't have much flavor to begin with if you want to fry with it, add a more flavorful olive oil after cooking or at the table.';
Yes its supposed to be one of the more healthy options.
YES !!
course it is but watch you dont burn the oil,,if you burn it you will smell a burnt nutty smell
Yes - you can fry with Olive oil it is really excellent as a butter replacement and will impart a lovely taste as well.
The reason some people say not too is the cost associated with extra virgin olive oils - they feel it is wasteful to fry with such a high quality oil when the flavor of lower cost olive oil is substantially the same.
Bottom line people have been frying with olive oil far longer than with vegetable, canola or even tallow for that matter.
Yes you can. It has a low smoke point so it wont fry foods as fast. The foods may become more saturated with olive oil too. So go ahead and experiment and you will see how good it is.
deep fry? no. Olive Oil has too low of a smoke point to deep fry with. The oil essentially cooks or burns at a lower temperature than say canola oil. Great for sauteeing or even drizzling on stuff to brown it (just like butter, which also has a low smoke point) or just as is on salads and tomatos. .
you can do about anything with olive oil - I don't know who said you aren't supposed to. I've cooked with it since I was a kid.
it has no positive effects when heated.
Turn the fan on and keep the heat down.
Shallow frying with regular olive oil is fine, but don't use extra virgin olive oil (the first press from the olives) as it is very rich and is likely to burn and it is also very expensive!
I fry up batches of fresh sardines and mullet in virgin olive oil and never go wrong.
Yes, and it is healthier

Is frying or cooking with extra virgin olive oil more safe than cooking with regular virgin olive oil?
I've heard that some good oils lose their ';healthy'; qualities after you heat them and can be just as bad as the unhealthy ones. Which olive oil should i use?Is frying or cooking with extra virgin olive oil more safe than cooking with regular virgin olive oil?
Save your extra virgin for drizzling into tomato soups, on bread, that sort of thing. To finish a dish. Cooking with it is usually a waste of good oil. When cooking use another, lower grade olive oil. As to is it safer, no, they react the same. The difference is in the taste.
Long Live JambiIs frying or cooking with extra virgin olive oil more safe than cooking with regular virgin olive oil?
They are basically the same except for taste, no change in character when heated. Low smoking point
Extra-virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of the olives, contains no more than 0.8% acidity, and is judged to have a superior taste. There can be no refined oil in extra-virgin olive oil.
Virgin olive oil has an acidity less than 2%, and judged to have a good taste. There can be no refined oil in virgin olive oil.
Olive oil is a blend of virgin oil and refined virgin oil, containing at most 1% acidity. It commonly lacks a strong flavor.
Olive-pomace oil is a blend of refined pomace olive oil and possibly some virgin oil. It is fit for consumption, but it may not be called olive oil. Olive-pomace oil is rarely found in a grocery store; it is often used for certain kinds of cooking in restaurants.
I'm Italian and I always cook with olive oil. I use extra virgin oil in dressing and marinades and I use light olive oil in frying or in a dish where I don't want the oil flavor to overpower the dish. As for it's healthy qualities, olive oil is the same whether it's extra virgin or not. The only difference is flavor.
It does have a low smoke point, so use something else (peanut oil is great) if you are frying something at a high temp or for an extended period of time.
Fried foods are not particularly healthy any way you look at it...but if you must fry, use extra virgin olive oil.
You should not utilize either type of olive oil at high temperatures. It releases unhealthy hydrocarbons Best to use is rapeseed (branded as Canola) oil for high temperature frying.

There is no difference between extra virgin and virgin except for the price. Extra virgin costs more. Why, I don't know. They are both the same except extra virigin sounds fancier.
YES
Yes it is good for you!
Recent studies into the health benefits of olive oil have found that it can lower the risk of coronary heart disease by reducing blood cholesterol levels. According to one study, a person鈥檚 risk of fatal heart attack is halved in just two to four years once they switch to 鈥榯he Mediterranean diet鈥? which includes using olive oil as the main dietary fat, increasing vegetable intake, and limiting meat and dairy foods. Research has also found that olive oil may influence body fat distribution, with less fat stored around the stomach.
Yes, cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil is one of the best oils you can eat. This goes for all cold-pressed, native oils - native meaning ';unrefined';.

Bertolli's and Dna. Elena are good enough brands of olive oil. Bertolli's even has those olive oils with flavors infused in them.
The best I have ever had is from Poggio Amorelli vino e olio ';Olio Extravergine Di Oliva'; There e-mail is Poggioamorelli@libero.it By far the best ex oils i have ever had about 35 euros with shipping.
also for cooking try a Sicilian Lemon ex oil great on red meats

Where to buy good extra virgin olive oil?
Extra virgin, cold pressed olive oil should have a wonderful, almost sweet smell. If you keep it too long, it turns sort of rancid and you can smell that easily. I have bought EVOO at many places, and I can't seem to find a brand or a store with constant good quality oil. Even when I buy it at a very busy Trader Joe's, often when I open the bottle at home it already lost its taste.
Where should I go, or which brand should I use?Where to buy good extra virgin olive oil?
I can find the best XVO at grocery stores that bake italian bread.
Whether its a trend, or just something they do. All the grocery stores in my area that have a bakery seem to carry a wide selection of Olive Oil.
Colvita and Stonehouse are decent, but they taste too... Manufactured to me.
I like Pasolivo a lot; its grown and harvested in California, and im pretty sure you can buy it online.Where to buy good extra virgin olive oil?
shop rite/path mark..it's all about the brand though
Colavita. Major grocery stores or online.
Trader Joe's does have a very good olive oil from Greece and inexpensive there.
If your not happy. google search Greek Imports, or Italian Imports, and buy from the internet plenty of sites.
