🛑 The Biggest Kitchen Myth Busted: Yes, You CAN Deep Fry With Olive Oil!

Let’s be honest. When you think of olive oil, you probably picture a light drizzle over a fresh salad, or maybe a fancy Italian pasta dish.

But what if you want to make crispy samosas, deep-fry pooris, or sizzle up a high-heat tadka?

For years, Indian home cooks have been told a massive myth: “Never use olive oil for Indian cooking because it burns too fast.”

Well, it’s time to bust that myth wide open.

While it is true that you shouldn’t deep fry with Extra Virgin olive oil, there is a specific grade of olive oil built exactly for extreme heat. Enter the unsung hero of the modern Indian kitchen: Pomace Olive Oil.

Here is why switching to Lush Pure Pomace Olive Oil (imported directly from Spain) is the ultimate upgrade for your everyday deep frying and high-flame cooking. 👇

1. The 230°C+ “Smoke Point” Superpower

The reason some oils smoke and burn in Indian cooking is that their “smoke point” is simply too low for the intense heat of our stoves.

Lush Pure Pomace Olive Oil is specially extracted and refined to handle the heat. With an incredibly high smoke point of 230°C+, it is the most heat-tolerant oil in our Lush Pure range.

Whether you are deep-frying crispy pakoras, shallow frying fish, or tempering mustard seeds on a high flame, this oil stays completely stable without breaking down or smoking out your kitchen.

2. 100% Neutral Flavour (Your Food Tastes Like Your Food!)

One of the biggest concerns about using olive oil in Indian food is the strong, fruity taste. Nobody wants their dal makhani tasting like a Spanish olive orchard!

Because Pomace Olive oil is designed for high-heat culinary performance, it features a completely neutral flavour profile. It acts as a blank canvas, allowing the rich, authentic flavours of your spices, herbs, and ingredients to shine through perfectly. You get the premium culinary benefits of olive oil without altering the traditional taste of your family’s favourite recipes.

3. A Wholesome Choice for Everyday Meals (The Facts)

Not only does it handle the heat, but it also fits seamlessly into a mindful, balanced lifestyle without relying on heavy chemical modifications.

  • Rich in MUFA: Pomace olive oil naturally contains a high level of Monounsaturated Fats (MUFA) — roughly 79g per 100g.
  • Zero Cholesterol & Zero Trans Fat: Naturally plant-based, it contains zero cholesterol and absolutely no artificial trans fats.
  • A Culinary Staple: It brings the foundational cooking fat of the famous Mediterranean diet straight into your everyday Indian meals.

🇪🇸 The “Lush Pure” Promise: Simply Pure, Produced in Spain

Walk into a supermarket, and you will find dozens of “imported” olive oils. But look closely—many are mass-blended from multiple different countries before being bottled, making it impossible to know where your food actually comes from.

At SHR Oil Mills, we created our Lush Pure label for customers who demand absolute transparency and premium sourcing.

When you cook with Lush Pure Pomace Olive Oil, you get:

✔️ Single Origin Traceability: Produced and bottled by ACEITES EL MALAGA in Calle Casares, Spain—one of the region’s most respected producers.

✔️ CAAE Certified Organic: The olives are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, certified by one of Europe’s strictest organic governing bodies.

✔️ FSSAI Certified Safety: Imported and packed by SHR Oil Mills in Tirupur, lab-tested to ensure it is 100% pure, edible-grade oil with zero additives.
