I just looked it up their smoke points because I was curious, too. Butter around 300 degrees, evoo around 350-400 degrees, avocado around 500 degrees.
I really like olive oil. There are so many types, you're lucky to be able to try different Italian ones! I like homemade bread to dip in olive oil, balsamic and some herbs. My husband drizzles it over tomatoes and mozzarella, burrata, etc.
I like the idea of coconut oil for baking. Olive oil seems best for salads or uncooked or unheated, on garlic bread, etc.
I know some people in Italy who can send me lots of different local italian olive oils not available in USA
