I've been buying this for 4 years, and 4 years ago this was 50nok, then slowly went up each year until today it was 160nok! WTF?! Why? This same oil in the UK is like 70nok (£5). I've seen alternatives and they are the same rate, why has almond oil increased in price in Norway? First it was Olive oil going from 60nok per litre to 180nok. What's going on? Do healthy oils attract a premium?

  1. Guessing the American tariff war has something to do with this as well, seeing this is made from American almonds.

  2. 4 salmon filets has gone from. 46,90- to 146,90- in the same time or slightly less.

    I have no idea what Foods they arbitrarily select when they report yearly food price hikes. But it’s none of what I’m buying.

  3. Well a big reason is going to be the big old mark saying PACKED IN THE UK, so in the U.K. it isn’t an imported good. 

  5. There was an issue with the olive harvest so prices have climbed duvets supply issues. There’s a lot of fake or adulterated olive oil out there I’ve heard.

  6. Most norwegians say it’s fine and that those prices are low

  7. It’s wild for me to see people in Norway complaining about such prices… when in eastern europe I frequently see these exact same prices, and have seen them for years. While I have like 3-4 times less purchasing power than the average norwegian

    Not to say that you have no right to complain, no you definitely do. It’s just funny
