OLEA-EVOO-IT 2026-07-16 −7.64%

Extra virgin olive oil in Italy trades at 6.300 EUR/kg at origin as of 16 July 2026, according to the OLEA-EVOO-IT benchmark by Olea Markets.

Over the last 30 days the index ranged between 5.649 and 6.821 EUR/kg, a weekly change of +6.11%.

That is a premium of 2.041 EUR/kg over the OLEA-EVOO-EU composite (production-weighted Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal), currently at 4.259 EUR/kg.

Italy is the second-largest producer and the largest consumer and importer, so its origin price often carries a quality premium over the Spanish reference.

The Olea Price is computed daily from official and semi-official sources only (MAPA, Junta de Andalucía, European Commission agridata, ISMEA), with a public, versioned methodology.

Frequently asked questions

How is the olive oil price in Italy calculated?
It is the OLEA-EVOO-IT benchmark: a weighted average of non-quarantined origin-price observations over a 14-day window, weighted by recency, source tier and volume.
Why compare Italy with the EU composite?
The OLEA-EVOO-EU composite weights the four producing markets by production, so the premium or discount of a national price against it shows how a market moves relative to Europe as a whole.
Is this a retail price?
No. It is the price at origin (producer/mill level), before bottling, distribution and retail margins.
