Can I fry with Extra Virgin Oil?

Most Italian Olive Oil sold in the US is, indeed imported from Italy;
however, because there's so much demand for "Italian olive oil" the
Italians buy much of the oil from Spain and blend it.
Buy only DOP or IGT italian EVO oils and you'll get oil made with
all-italian olives.
A good one with a good quality/price ratio is from Farchioni, it's theyr
"Umbria DOP".
BTW - actually there's only one IGP EVO oil and it is Toscana IGP, the
others are either DOP or nothing, where nothing means oil made from turkish
or greek or whoknowswherefrom olives.
