I don't heat it. I try to have a small bottle in the fridge, so it won't go rancid.

For heating, I try to get a good quality mid-price oil with a flavor I like and try to go through it fairly quickly. EVOO is fine and I like a robust peppery quality. If I wanted a really mild oil, I'd probably go with some other neutral oil with a high smoke point. (I'm sure I could make donuts or carrot cake with mild olive oil, but that's not an experiment I'm looking to try.)
