Ding, ding! Yes, thats true. In the dietary supplement world (the good stuff anyway) we have to qualify all suppliers and olive oil, is one of the biggest pains in the butt to find a clean audit trail.

From my perspective, the only thing EVOO is good for is salad dressing. I don't use much of it at all. Just regular "real" olive oil.
P.S. Did you know there are tons of olive oil imposters out there??? I've heard numbers suggesting upwards of 75% of the products out there labeled "Olive Oil" are fakes. Seriously. It's a huge racket, much of it perpetrated by organized crime in Italy and Greece.

Thanks for the update - look forward to the pics when completed.
As others have suggested we stopped using extra virgin as it lacks flavour but also it seems like a contrived marketing ploy.
Lower smoking point, we're back to using canola or sunflower to sear steaks.

HA!! That's actually where I got the idea, from a Chinese place just like you describe!
Boy, I'll tell ya what, you watch one of those guys run one of those big Wok set ups, and if he/she knows what they're doing, it's a sight to see. They can cook up more food in 10 minutes than most of us could cook in a day!
The big ol' wok stoves with the foot pedal controls are awesome. Sounds like a fire breathing dragon when they fire one of those bad boys up! Then it's like blur of sauces, meats, veggies, wok implements and...BOOM...done! On to the next one.
Just amazing to watch those guys! I call it the "Kung Pao Ballet".
LOL now Im going to have to bust out my Wok haven't used it in a while.
