I've made thousands of Zeppole throughout my career.

Don't use olive oil, you'll impart the wrong flavour profile.

Veg/Canola/Peanut, or any other neutrally flavoured high-temp oil suitable for frying will work.

PERSONALLY, I prefer Zeppole and other choux paste products baked on a parchment sheet, with a light mist of cooking spray.

I would expect Italians to use Olive oil.

I'd use whatever feels right for frying (peanut oil, canola...)

I’d expect them to use lard.

Olive oil is too fragile for most (if not all) deep frying temperatures.
