Most of the olive oil is cut with cheaper stuff. And not suitable for high temps.
Couple of interesting links, one with a book reference by the guy who wrote the original article in 2007: https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/olive-oils-dark-side https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/08/13/slippery-business Reminds me of my no undergrad days doing Mass spectrometry work on soil vegetation samples. One of the subcontractors we interacted with in Boston was a private shop doing isotope analysis for the orange juice industry. The orange growers association was having a problem with fake orange juice from concentrate being passed off as fresh-squeezed. Unfortunately for the criminals, the oxygen Isotopes in fresh-squeezed were different from the oxygen isotope ratios in the water that was being used to reconstitute the concentrate. It was therefore easy to tell the difference. Further, the mass spectrometry analysis company was doing work for both the orange growers and the criminals, such that they were able to observe the criminals adding the correct ratios of oxygen Isotopes to the reconstituted fake orange juice so that it would be indistinguishable on testing. When there is enough money at stake, criminals can get pretty fancy.
