Refined Olive Oil Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Italy paid the most for refined olive oil in Q2 2026: USD 7.58/KG, up 4.6% from USD 7.25 in Q1. Refined olive oil is produced by chemically or physically refining lampante-grade crude olive oil, which fails to meet virgin or extra-virgin sensory and acidity standards, into a neutral, food-grade oil often blended back with a small amount of virgin oil to restore some flavour character.

Spain, the world's largest olive oil producer by a wide margin, has faced repeated drought-driven harvest disruptions over the past several years, adding meaningful supply volatility to a market that would otherwise be comparatively stable given olive trees' long productive lifespan. Italy and Greece both host substantial olive cultivation and refining capacity, though Italy in particular imports meaningful volumes of Spanish and other Mediterranean crude oil for domestic refining and blending given its own consumption significantly exceeding domestic production.

Tunisia has grown into a significant lower-cost North African supplier, exporting substantial volumes of both crude and refined olive oil to European blenders and directly to global markets, giving it a persistent price advantage over the three European producers tracked here. Because refined olive oil sits at the lower end of the broader olive oil quality and price hierarchy, below virgin and extra-virgin grades, its pricing still responds to the same underlying Mediterranean harvest conditions that drive the premium segments, just from a lower base.

The spread between the cheapest and priciest markets tracked here, Tunisia and Italy, ran to roughly 34% in Q2 2026. That gap matters for procurement teams weighing sourcing origin against landed cost, since freight, duties, and local demand intensity all feed into where a given region ultimately lands.

Refined Olive Oil Price Forecast for 2026

Expect steady gains across all four markets through H2 2026 as global demand for olive oil as a premium cooking oil continues its structural growth. Tunisia should retain its position as the most competitively priced origin given its lower production costs relative to the three European producers. Italy's premium should persist given its position as a net importer of crude oil for domestic refining and blending. Spanish weather conditions through the upcoming harvest season remain the single most important variable to watch, given the country's outsized role in global supply.

Across all 4 regions combined, prices moved 4.5% increase on average between Q1 and Q2 2026. Absent a meaningful change to the cost or demand drivers outlined above, that pace looks set to carry into the second half of the year.

How We Can Help

Expert Market Research: Your Source for Real-Time Refined Olive Oil Price Intelligence

We keep a continuous watch on refined olive oil prices across every region that produces or consumes it at scale, tracing the raw material and demand drivers back to their source rather than just reporting the number. Our team pulls together crude/lampante olive oil (olives) cost trends, regional supply and demand shifts, and policy developments into a single, regularly refreshed view of the market.

We build our forecasts from production capacity, feedstock cost trends, and regional demand data, aiming to give procurement teams something they can actually use in budgeting and supplier negotiations, not just a headline number.

If you need a deeper regional breakdown, a longer historical run than the six quarters shown here, or a sourcing analysis built around your specific procurement footprint, our analysts are available to help.

We track refined olive oil pricing as distinct from the virgin and extra-virgin grades that command a substantial premium in this market, since refined oil serves a different, more cost-sensitive segment of food service and manufacturing demand.
