Extra virgin vs lampante olive oil price

0.922€/kg

EVOO − lampante 2026-07-16

As of 16 July 2026, Spanish extra virgin olive oil (OLEA-EVOO-ES) trades at 3.900 EUR/kg and lampante (OLEA-LAMP-ES) at 2.978 EUR/kg at origin.

The extra virgin premium over lampante is 0.922 EUR/kg — lampante trades about +30.96% below extra virgin.

The spread is the price gap between the top commercial grade (extra virgin: free acidity ≤ 0.8°, no defects) and lampante, an unfit-for-consumption oil that must be refined. A wide spread rewards quality and clean harvests; a narrow one signals scarcity, when even lower grades are bid up.
