He demonstrated that frying an egg in extra virgin olive oil was much healthier than eating a poached egg. The nutritional content of the EVOO added to the health profile of the egg. Even at high temperatures he recommends cooking with extra virgin olive oil. Buying a 3 L tin of extra virgin olive oil not only means you can enjoy cooking without fearing of running short it’s better for you, but means it’s better for you!
