Unlike eggs you can get a few 2L bottles of good quality oil from Italia/Greece/Corsica every few years and keep them for a super long time, if you mostly use the mediocre olive oil we can get in every supermarket for cheap for the bulk of your cooking
The quality of olive oil degrades over time. It won’t become rancid if stored properly, but it will lose its flavor, to the point where a one or two year old bottle of good expensive olive oil will be about as good as a fresh bottle of cheap olive oil, especially if you broke the seal on it a while back.
If you get good olive oil use it as soon as possible, that’s when it’ll taste the best and when you’ll get the most bang for your buck
Many people save good quality extra virgin olive oil for special occasions, but it’s a fresh product that should be consumed! … We recommend using up the oil within 30 to 60 days upon opening
It’s the eggs of Europe. Who can afford olive oil!!?! Let alone good quality olive oil

Yeah this is my point though. I have family in Greece and they buy 10-15 liters of olive oil at a time. It lasts them a year or even less!
My reference to eggs, was that it is and should be common food ingredient for everyone, but is often a luxury product for most
It’s gone down a lot recently
