Is that some kind of fresh extra virgin olive oil?
5 litres virgin extra olive oil, small town cooperative production, “average” prize among the good quality ones. Main brands have very similar prizes with lower quality. Best types are much more expensive.
I suppose this is even “cheap” for other european prizes, but Andalusia is the world main olive oil production centre, so not really cheap. This same bottle was just 23-26 euros until 2020 or so, which should be the “average” price in normal conditions. This year campaign and production will be much better but I doubt we will return to those prices levels anymore.
Ps. Yeah that’s a chaotic patchwork of azulejos. Just a rustic “creative arrange” of some leftovers in a private space…
Missing banana for scale
In a plastic container, yuk.
same in Italy, Sardinia, 10€/lt from local mills
was 8€/lt just last year
But it is half empty!
I thought it was a bottle full of piss for a second there and I thought we had finally reached the end of X€ amount of groceries posts
I used to by those for 15€/20€ a couple of years ago🙃
Olive oil doubled in price over the last year where I live.
Lube?
Now you _could_ have posted a basket of fresh fruit and vegs worth the same amount that would make anyone in Northern Europe weep with jealousy.
Sabes que eres rico cuando te puedes permitir 5l de AOVE.
That before or after the VAT reduction?
I miss Andalusia so much ☹️
I was also under the naive impression that prices of South African olive oil would become competitive with prices of imported olive from Europe after olive oil prices rose in Europe but I see the local prices have increased in step as well.
Like to the post only for the azulejos. Two years ago I’ve been in Malaga and made a tour of the Southern Spain. I remember that eating out and the fresh food was very cheap. Loved that palce.
How do you say me cago en todo in Andalucía?
Which brand? Yeah, 50€ is a lot. It used to be 60€ for 3x5L bottles in Jaén in/before 2020
In lebanon, you get 20 liter for 100 150$
Price of olive oil is just insane now.
Here in France it’s more than 10€/l… for the cheapest ones, who almost doesn’t even taste like olive oil. It’s just ridiculous at this point.
Olive oil nowadays, at least in Portugal, looks like cooking oil, very light colored and too much fluid to be olive oil.
And fucking expensive.
Luckily my girlfriend has a farm and I can get the real olive oil for free, but they’re selling it for 40€/5L.
At what price point do you break down and use rapeseed oil instead?
As a Portuguese I can relate.
This is the first time I see virgin olive oil in plastic packaging
Nice
Looks like my nerd cave piss bottle. I didn’t know I could sell these for 50 euros
I just paid €40 for 2,5 litres of premium quality Spanish olive oil. There is no way back. It lasts around ~3 months. Going to Croatia next month, will get my olive oil fix there.
Woah, in my country “olive oil producer country”… That amount cost 12€
