      As opposed to what? Virgins?

      Refined olive oil. Also been sitting in a cargo box from spain

      • Extra promiscuous olive oil

      From the olives of the same country as Real ( Madrid ;)

    Hopefully Uber have their $20 off $40 spend at the same time. I stock up on olive oil on sale every time they do. And you can order from multiple stores.

    • You buy 3 bottles plus a $1 item?

    • +5

      I don't think Uber prices reflect Coles discounts? I could be wrong tho, I have not shopped with Uber for a while..

        They do some times. But not on all items. I ended up getting 4 bottles for $32 the last time. Ordered from 3 different coles stores, so x3 bottles

        • They don’t do that anymore for like the last 2 years or so

      Most coles "specials" are the real price because nobody would ever pay the full price. Too bad the ACCC etc are toothless and won't hold them to account.

      Same as how timtams are $6 but the real price is $3, you just cant buy them 3 out of every 4 weeks

      There's probably some random olive oil crisis like there is with every other commodity too, but in general, its the supermarket duopoly situation at play here.

      • +3

        Yep. Coles olive oil use to be $10 1L. This brand was $12.

          Western warmongering creates global inflation & affects the Cost of Living. I hope the gov won't submit to increased useless Military spending even further to 5% GDP (our only attackers are sharks & in their territory ;)

          • @taki: Western war monger like Russia nice

        Exactly this, TimTams and Chips have doubled in price and I highly doubt the cost of ingredients has gone as much

        • +7

          If anything they would have made the ingredients worse and cheaper, at least cadbury have done that..

            @wetsandwich: The other capitalist strategy is shrinkflation ( boil the frog without noticing it ;)

      • +1

        The reality is some people pay $26 for olive oil and $6 for Tim Tams and they subsidise all the people who pay half as much.

        Take away the subsidy and the base price also rises.

          This. The morons are to blame for encouraging corporations to assist them and we have to work around their accepted realty.

            @ohgee: Consumers aren't to be blamed here. Who wants to spend extra time in their life meticulously planning their shopping based around supermarket "specials" ? We are already overworked and timepoor. It's not an unreasonable ask to be able to go shops once a week at our leisure and not get gouged on basic supplies.

      • These specials are largely funded by the manufacturer. Not by coles.

      What has Albo got to do with Olive oil? Because he is of Italian heritage?

      • +1

        Albanian from Italy ;)

      Seriously just stop with this whole Albo BS. Wake up. We're being bent over regardless of who's in power

    Why Olive Oil still high-priced?

    Is this a good price (even for 1/2 price special)?

    I started to cook with butter some time ago. Not bad, but would like some olive oil when cooking in the oven.

    • -8

      Dont cook with olive oil. Smoke point too low. Avocado or better yet beef tallow/fat. Mmmmmmm

      • Yes, maybe choose the La Espanola refined one, same price with clear bottle. It has higher smoking point

        • -3

          I wouldnt cook with any olive oil tbh. Also dont forget its essentially a juice so you dont want it sitting around in (any but clear is worse) bottle for ages….

      • You don't rub it over meat (with salt/pepper/other to season? I see it done in many youtube videos

        • It's mainly for salad dressing. For high heat cooking, use some other oil.

    • +4

      Because people got used to the inflated prices because of the "shortage", production is back to normal and they hope we've just forgotten about it.

      Has happened with plenty of other crops/meat before and will happen again and again (next thing is eggs, supply will free up and the prices won't go back).

        The average uninterested would rather blame something than be accountable for shopping around in their own interest.

        • Why did Airbus Albo do this?

  • +12

    Not the best oil, buy Aussie olive oils, much better and more likely to be pure

    • +2

      Yeah something like double the amount of “olive oil” is sold compared to what is grown. Australian is much less likely to be adulterated.

    • I also like the fact that many Australian olive oils have a harvest date on the label.
      Disappointingly, most olive oil producers conceal the freshness by omitting the production date from their labelling.

    Just go to Aldi and get the 4L extra virgin olive oil for $35, better dollar/L value. Olive oil is stupid expensive these days for no valid reason.

  • Costco today had it around $33 for 4L of olive oil. Colesworth is just criminal with the prices they charge.

    • Is it good and do you u like it?

      • Just got it yesterday, seems okay to me, i'm no olive oil expert, its Noble Grove Olive Oil.

  • Costco is also imported, same as these spanish brands.
    An olive garden owner once told me that local law says that olives are to be crushed within 24 hours of harvest in order to be graded extra virgin. So buy Aussie, and Aldi is the cheapest for that these days

    • Costco has Australia made variants too. I think it was $65 for 4l. There were two different kinds of Australian made ones

    • Which brand on Aldi is Aussie? Is it good for cooking?

  • OOS everywhere

  • Skip, really just refined oil from a mix of European olives.
