Well in Greece this year, the olive oil is very expensive. I am not sure about Spain but I believe that they are facing similar issues.
Spain is the biggest producer of olive oil in the world. And we use it quite a lot (note: of you haven't tasted it, try bread with some olive oil and tomato).
Aww yes, pure Mediterranean moment! ❤️
Heavily consumed in Portugal too. Already bunch of news around about how expensive oil is going to be. Totally the new normal. It's not surprising crops going crazy with weird weather, both too much and sudden rain coupled with crazy drought. Last year we already got similar situation.
