Wholesale Olive Oil......

[DTCwordfan]

Wholesale olive oil prices set to fsll, a glut in Spain and elsewhere.... Andalusian prices from £8365 to the 4k to 5k Euros range. Anybody want to bet that the supermarket prices don't drop this much - may be 10-20% but the chain will be 'greedy'? 

There's too many fat-batardes involved....

The price of olive oil is just ridiculous. We just buy an everyday one from Aldi for cooking and suchlike and it's over £7 a bottle now.

Decent stuff is an eyewatering price.

I switched to rapeseed oil many years ago - but I do eat a lot of olives so that's good news!

It's possible to get decent stuff for a bit less than eye-watering. I got a Puglian from aldi that's strong and peppery. Just how I like it. 500ml for less than £6. And sainsbury's does an own brand Kalamata for about £8. A little goes a long way with these.

I'm not taking bets on prices going down...same with chocolate.

Rapeseed oil is best if cold pressed...much better quality.

same price in Waitrose for their brand 500cl - the 'Carapelli' Bio Italian that my sister brings back from France for me, an EVO, is £11 in Sainsbury for the same size....a lovely EVO that it is.

"Decent" depends on where you set the bar.

[DTCwordfan]

true, Pasta, I picked up a bottle in my Waitrose raid earlier this week....

You can get some decent olive oil in Lidl especially when they have their 'specials ' on.

True auntypoll...they've got a Greek I've been wanting to try.

Speaking of Greek evoo...this is lovely and intense...though the price has gone up quite a bit

I like a basic VO and a better ECO and the Carapelli does that (home-made salad dressings, like tonight) - as in the final product - C:\Users\Nick\OneDrive\Pictures\DSC_0251.JPG

The greek olive oil is one of my favourites, its not too peppery on the back of the throat. We use it in dressings and also of course with a good bread dipped in it with a bit of balsamic ( also from lidl)

here we are, hopefully, supper tonight.... https://ibb.co/LCvw3sR
