High Heat Olive Oil

Enjoy high heat cooking without having to rely on seed oils!!! Our High Heat Olive Oil is a refined, extra-light tasting olive oil with a neutral flavor, a pale yellow color, and a smoke point between 410°F and 446°F, making it ideal for frying, baking, stir-frying, and braising at temperatures where extra virgin olive oil would start to smoke and break down. Hand-bottled in our Charleston shop.

The flavor is subtle and delicate with just a faint hint of olive. No bitterness, no peppery finish, no strong olive character. This is the oil that disappears into the dish and lets everything else do the talking. If you want a high-heat oil that still comes from olives, this is it.

Perfect for:

• Deep-frying chicken, fish, shrimp, and vegetables
• Stir-frying at high temperatures without smoking up the kitchen
• Pan-frying steaks, pork chops, and poultry in a cast iron or stainless pan
• Baking cakes, muffins, quick breads, and cookies as a neutral butter substitute
• Braising meats and vegetables in the oven or on the stovetop
• Making homemade mayonnaise and aioli where a neutral base oil is needed. See our Lowcountry Olive Oil Mayonnaise recipe
• Any application where you want the health benefits of olive oil without a strong olive flavor

High Heat Olive Oil vs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil: which should you use?

• Use High Heat Olive Oil when: you are cooking at temperatures above 375°F, you want a neutral flavor that won't compete with the dish, or you are baking and want a flavorless oil
• Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil when: you are finishing a dish, dressing a salad, dipping bread, or cooking at lower temperatures where the flavor of the oil is part of the dish
• Both are olive oils. High Heat is refined for a neutral flavor and higher smoke point. Extra Virgin is cold-pressed and unrefined for maximum flavor and polyphenol content.

Great as a gift for:

• Health-conscious home cooks who want an olive-based high-heat cooking oil
• Bakers looking for a neutral, heart-healthy substitute for vegetable oil or butter
• Anyone who cooks frequently at high temperatures and wants to move away from vegetable or canola oil
• Add this bottle to our 2 Bottle Gift Basket or Make Your Own Gift Box alongside a finishing EVOO for a complete olive oil kitchen set
