Although producer prices have dropped dramatically, supermarket prices have not fallen at the same rate, because transportation costs haven't really changed much. "Funny that."

After two years of record high prices, they might have prepared for the inevitable drop.

A decent 3 liter can went from about $40 to $90 over the last year. I should hope a good harvest puts prices back under $50. I’m skimping with cheap Costco XVO for cooking, and saving the good stuff for salads only.

I always try to buy olive oil produced in Spain, since I was stationed at the Rota naval base in Andalucia for three years and my son was born there.

When I was a kid, we used to buy olive oil by the gallon. I buy smaller bottles now, but we still go through quite a bit of it.

There is something wrong with this picture!
Bad years of Harvest Farmers make more money,
good years of Harvest they go broke?
Farms are not cheap to run and require a
lot of dedication.
I think this article was written by an idiot!

Olive oil varies a lot in taste between countries. A lot sold today is blended, which many people find abhorrent.

Fortunately the US has strict origin requirements.

I personally like California olive oil.

Check out the bottle labels where you shop.
