Key Factors Influencing the Price of a 5-Liter Bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
A variety of factors influence the price of a 5-liter bottle of EVOO:
- Quality of the Olive Grove and Harvest: The quality of extra virgin olive oil begins in the olive grove. Factors such as the climate, soil, and variety of olive tree directly influence the quality of the oil. Harvesting olives at their optimum ripeness and harvested using traditional, environmentally friendly methods usually results in higher quality EVOO, but also a higher price.
- Extraction Method: Extraction is crucial. An EVOO is obtained solely through mechanical procedures, such as cold extraction, which better preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the oil. This method can increase production costs and be reflected in the final price to the consumer.
- Certifications of Origin (PDO): Protected designations of origin (PDO) and other quality certifications are labels that guarantee that the product has passed rigorous controls. Seals such as PDO Jaén, PDO Sierra de Cazorla, or PDO Priego de Córdoba add value to the product and can influence the price.
- Packaging Process: Although often underestimated, packaging is crucial to maintaining the freshness and quality of the oil. Quality packaging, such as dark glass or opaque PET, protects EVOO from light and preserves its properties, which may slightly increase the cost.
- Distribution Costs: Logistics costs and the profit margins of distributors and retailers significantly influence the final price. Buying directly from the producer or from specialized stores can reduce costs and offer better prices.
