Since extra-virgin olive oil is high in monounsaturated fat and low in
polyunsaturated fats, it is recommended for salad dressings and mayon-
naise. It should not be used for cooking or frying because monounsatu-
rated fat can oxidize in high temperatures.

Cod liver oil is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and can be used as a
dressing rather than for cooking.
