A prolonged period of climate-fueled extreme weather and drought in southern Europe has severely impacted olive harvests in recent years , culminating in a dizzying price rally that shocked industry veterans and consumers alike.

Prices have since cooled, however, as industry estimates point to a much better harvest in the 2024-2025 season , particularly in key producing countries such as Spain , Greece and Tunisia .

Deoleo said olive oil prices should fall to around 5 euros per liter, a steep drop from highs of 9 to 10 euros, which had become the norm in Spanish supermarkets.
