The good news:
the NEWEST HARVEST of Olea Estates Organic Extra Virgin, first cold-press, unfiltered Olive Oil is here, complete with new tins (for us) and fancy USDA Organic label. If you don’t know, this is from my (very) extended family in Greece. They have recently built their own solar-powered processing plant to ensure their carefully cared-for kalamata olives end up as their oil in their tins (sounds funny but the olive oil business can be very sneaky with people switching for better oils!). Click on Olea Estates (above) to go to their website and learn more. It’s incredible oil, the best I’ve ever had by far.
The less good news:
The cost of olive oil, especially Extra Virgin, organic, single source tree to table, UNCUT (with vegetable oil as most grocery store “olive oils” are) has gone up exponentially, with Spain, Italy, Turkey and Greece all having shortages on top of shortages. There are many recent articles in the news to read about this so I wont post the details here. For those of you who regularly buy our oil you will see a dramatic price increase as our wholesale price almost doubled unexpectedly. We haven’t raised our prices in probably 10 years. All I can say is that to us, it is still worth every penny and really the BEST oil you could put in your body, so we went ahead and stocked up.
$70 for a 3-L tin.

Thank you for planning ahead and thanks for sticking with us. We’re all hoping prices will go down in a couple years when the olive trees catch back up, but this doesn’t always happen, we know.
