Where do you buy cheap Californian olive oil? Whenever I’ve seen it for sale (rarely) it’s always a more premium product available only in medium sized glass bottles while Italian olive oil is available in large plastic containers.
- lazide 3y agoAh hah, the marketers are at it again. If you go to Safeway.com, there are clearly a couple different ‘markets’ or sub-verticals in olive oil. Glass bottle ‘fancy’, plastic jug ‘bulk’, and large metal jug/tin ‘medium fancy bulk’. Looking at the sub-categories, it it seems like Italian extra virgin is typically about 2x in price of Californian equivalents within a given sub-category, but there are some Californian brands coming close to equivalent. Like Californian wines vs French. Each sub-category for oil has its equivalent of 2 buck chuck of course.
