Although you've polluted the oil thread with vinegar, I get most of mine at https://amphoranueva.com/berkeley/ - 750ml for $21, and smaller bottles for less. The selection and flavo(u)rs are great. I'd expect you'll find someplace similar in So Cal that uses the same supplier.

Once you try try organic oil from Tuscany you will never go back. And its cheap also.

My last 3 bottles have been this. Maybe a little on the light side very inexpensive.

I can buy the generic supermarket Australian olive oil for AU$9.30/litre so about US$6.20. The base Spanish olive oil is AU$9.50/litre. Seems unlikely they are selling olive oil at a loss in the supermarket. Hard to reconcile the prices being quoted in the article with the prices I see.

First of all, you're likely buying oil from the harvest of either of the past two years. Second, you're buying oil that probably already had a contract price that isn't affected by today's price.

But the price rises have happened. In Europe they're complaining that the price of olive oil has gone from €2.50 to €5 a litre which is about US$5.40 litre. Again that is what consumers are paying not what the spot wholesale price is. I guess the question really is why is olive oil so expensive in the US right now?

Four Seasons Marrakech has numerous olive trees on premises , some a few hundred years old ;)
Olive oil served is from her own trees

Bottle of olive oil from FS ‘ own olive trees !

Currently in Crete, and have been for almost a month... We've been enjoying so much olive oil! Our AirBnB host even brought us a bottle they said was pressed by them... Who knows if that is true or not, but it is freakin delicious!

This is one of those threads that has brought me and my family much, much joy and satisfaction over the years.

I was turned on to the Coosur brand by alanw and it ticked all the boxes for me, particularly with their single variety offerings. Goodness knows how many litres we’ve gone through as a result of the recommendation.

We all have some kind of sensitivity in the house (I have IBS), so we never cook with garlic or onions.

This was a big bummer until we discovered flavour infused extra virgin olive oils. With the infusion you get all the flavour and none of the triggers. For us it's basically like magic.

Our favorite is back in stock. In past years, it sold out during the presale and wasn't available again until after the next year's harvest.

It's produced exclusively from Tzuri olives grown in the upper Galilee by spicemaster Lior Lev Sercarz' father. The oil is unfiltered and has a rich body and herbaceous flavor and a peppery finish.

I bought a bottle of Californias own olive oil at just over $15. It was excellent but, I get through the stuff so quickly I can't justify using it all the time. I just bought some oil from Aldi for a few cents over $5. It's not quite as richly flavoured but is awesome value for money.
