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!

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.
