Best oil for frying

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Manteca or leaf lard

I had to look that one up. Guess I've been a vegetarian for too long!

There many different ideas about this question! Best from what point of view? Do you mean 'healthiest' or to achieve best results? It also depends on what you are frying...

I am veered to agree .. The healthiest choices, best results for a specific product and what you are sauté-ing or deep frying ..

EVOO on top of my personal chart. And peanuts oil to follow.
These two oils are the best for fry (for me). Sometimes I use sunflowers oil but only to fry something sweet and not so often.

As a native of a Mediterranean Evoo producing country, I have approx. 25 different Evoos, with a wide variety of olives from distinctly different parts of Spain, Italy, Greece and Provençe, France. So, with the dishes I prepare, Evoo works best for me too ..

Have a lovely evening ..
