Oii Oii Oii
oiii oiiii oiiiii lol
I think this is the first time it's been half-price since price increase earlier this year.
I was waiting for you to post and surprised no one posted.
Finally!! Will definitely be stocking up.
I wouldn't stock up too much - you want it to be fresh enough when you use it. Perhaps don't buy what you won't consume within a year? I guess it depends on what you're using it for and how you're storing it too.
Just store in the fridge or inside a cool dry dark cabinet.
Any way to store this in a warm home? I still have a full bottle. I don’t have aircon, so it’s often in the high 20s in summer
Stable temperature is better than nothing. Bottom of a deep cupboard is insulated just from the mass of other items around it and not opening the door too often.
May sound stupid, but linen cupboard is usually cool, dry, dark and rarely opened.
You sometimes see people recommend storing in ceramic containers. Simple answer: unlike glass, metal or plastic, ceramic is a great insulator and it's usually a thick wall heavy jar.
An opened bottle has been exposed to oxygen and humidity in the air so it's already slowly deteriorating.
Awesome, thank you. Never thought of the back of the linen cupboard.
Update: just did a test with a thermometer, 29 in the kitchen cupboard. 24 in the linen cupboard
Yeah, the kitchen is the worst place to store olive oil bc of the heat from cooking.
May sounds a bit unconventional, but washroom is comparatively cooler place and you can keep a couple of these because shampoo etc..
Washroom? Do you mean bathroom? Because when the shower or bath is being used the temperature certainly does increase and the humidity plays havoc, hence why you should never store your medicines and olive oil in a bathroom..
Fridge
Olive oil changes when stored in the refrigerator. Olive oil will form crystals and start to solidify when subjected to cold temperatures. Once the olive oil is brought back to room temperature the oil will return to its liquid state.
Some research suggests that repeated heating and cooling – such as storing it in the fridge in between uses – puts stress on the oil and doesn’t necessarily extend the shelf life.
Furthermore, it is an inconvenience to bring the olive oil back to room temperature in order to use it.
Storing your olive oil in a cool dark cupboard or pantry is the way to go. Make sure that your olive oil is also tightly capped and that you buy olive oil in bottles that you will use within a few months of opening.
Note: Some people believe that you can use the refrigerator to test for olive oil authenticity. This is 100% false. There is no reliable home test to check for olive oil authenticity.

Next to the frozen peas
So $50 for 3L. I guess the good old days are never coming back. :(
Black market still alive.
Used to be $10/litre.
So $7.50/750ml.
Now $12.50/750ml. Hmm.
What's going on with inflation, Australia?
Ask the banks and the government. Hundreds of billions of dollars created this decade for bank bailouts (if memory serves) while people's attention was elsewhere.
Tons of money was printed during covid, and too much of it was given to the already-rich like Gerry Harvey without any strings or requirement to pay it back later.
I don't mind printing money to help people out in an emergency, but right wing leaders at the time such as Morrison, Trump, and Boris made sure that the high end of town was enriched from it, and it's only worsened the wealth divide and inflation of prices as it turns out to be more profitable to just price to the high end of town.
ask the farmers. Olive oil pricing is purely a supply driven issue not a demand driven issue
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, UK, Europe, Latin America… where is inflation not going through the roof? It's the covid tax, which in turn is the GFC tax.
I recently read olive oil is coming down in price in Europe, so we can only hope Australia will follow!
It used to be $15 full price not too long ago?

Yeah i guess that's a while
Welcome to the world of tomorrow!
Today is worse than yesterday,
but better than tomorrow.
(Russian proverb)
Wonderful sense of humour.
никогда не слышал о такой. Точно русская?
@mutnyi2001: I read somewhere it was, but i never saw the actual quote.
Yea mate everything is going up, it's getting quite ridiculous to be honest
Which one is good to salad dressing or just sip?
Should be the purple one which has a stronger flavour.
I prefer the Dark Green "Robust" variety.
Glenlivet is my go to
It is the full price for me. Not sure why?
It's an upcoming deal, in 2 days
Oh damn sorry! I didn't notice In 2 days blue banner. Got it now. Cheers
I just noticed i need more. Usually get the Aldi tin. Is this better value?
The Aldi 'Olive Tree' olive oil is also supposed to be pretty good too, according to CHOICE.
https://www.choice.com.au/products/food-and-drink/nuts-and-o…
That bottle looks like the same shape and label as the Woolworths-branded Australian olive oil, which I think is fairly new, so I'm guessing is from the same source.
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/248084/woo…
That Woolworths Australian olive oil used to be good. Glad to see it back
@prhino: Does it go ½price? It's $20/L now.
Finished the last bottle a few months ago and have been surviving on Aldi The Olive Tree since then. Time to stock up now. Thanks OP.
The 3L is often $55 on amazon. So it's barely half price oil. Just the smaller bottle if thats your thing i guess.
Smaller bottle is definitely the thing, considering olive oil is a strong antioxidant (which actually means it oxidises very quickly once opened).
CHOICE : How To Pick The Best Olive Oil
https://www.choice.com.au/food-and-drink/nuts-and-oils/oils/… (30 NOV 2021)
I did say this earlier in a thread about Olive oil, wait as the prices a temporarily elevated due to supply issues. I knew the prices would start to come down and this is a good sign.
time to oil up them buns in time for summer.
Some olive news
https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/11/18/olive-oil-price…
Spainsh, Italian, Turkish, Greek olive oil production to recover from past years drought. Spain was hard hit with drought conditions. Olive oil price was increased temporarily due to unfavourable global weather.
Its good that Australia produces its own olive oil for mass consumption. We dont need to rely too much from European suppliers.
I just buy mine from aldi. Its always sale price compared to colsworth.
I can't believe how expensive this has become!
Too expansive for daddy, I mean diddi
Is $16.67/L about as good as it gets for quality olive oil? (in the current supply settings)
Is it possible to get something like a Red Island somewhere between $10-$15/L, whether it's 1L or 3L?
Costco has 4L of red island for 60$
… if you can consume 4L OO in a couple of months…
Isnt it cheaper at Aldi without a sale?
some people prefer colbram… i use both.
Aldi and Colbram normal stuff are on par, the Colbram premium stuff is quite good though. Delicious on ice cream with salt.
ALDI for cooking; Cobram for salad and cold dishes.
Wait, wat?! On ice cream?? 😳
"So ladies and gentlemen if I say I'm an oil man, you will agree."
I drink your milkshake!
I will prefer Monini. I think Italian OL has more favour than local.
Go check where the Monini olives come from
Says "product of Italy" on Woolworths' page. Don't understand this thread.
If you started up a blended olive oil company in the EU it would impossible to stop adulterated oil entering your supply system.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're on Special next week at Woolies.
Don't stock up, global olive oil prices are set to drop massively.
Will be very happy to be proven wrong but why would supermarkets here be bothered to drop the price? Yes I'm that cynical
Per this thread people are waiting several months for a deal to buy more olive oil.
Saw the cheapest olive oil at coles is now $1.59/100ml. I bought the grapeseed oil which is $1.60/100ml instead.
🤢
any coles gift cards ? thanks
@anna tucker The best rate at the moment is Coles gift card $50 at 3% cashback on ShopBack app.
On Wed at Woolworths, another option is the $500 Vanilla gift card for $25 worth of EDR points. You can use the gift card at Coles and other places. There are reports of the Vanilla card being hacked so you would want to spend the amount quickly.
The real Black friday deal!
is the light version that light? i mean its oil!
Light in flavour, not calories. Don't bother, buy the original stuff!
i mean its oil!
Dress your salad with rapeseed (aka canola) oil then 😆
Olive oil is practically medicine; the more robust, the better; more powerful, more effective.
Any way to check local stock? Cant see it on website or the app ;(
If you log into your Coles account and do a dummy order at your local stores for C&C or delivery, it will be a rough indication of stock levels. Not always accurate though.
This will be great, just don't buy your beef from Coles they like to put drugs in cattle that is sold to Coles and not disclose it on their products like regular ingredients. This has been ongoing for 12 months now around the country. Look up Bovar and Coles.
Gut feeling… (pardon the pun), this sounds weird and not safe for the poor cattle

It's Bill Gates' "climate saving anti-farting chemistry".
Sounds like it goes on a discount once a year.
Yay finally! Thanks OP. Typo on the title btw
