Frequently asked questions
What is the price of extra virgin olive oil in Italy per litre today?
The latest published wholesale price is €4.67 per litre (€507.50 per 100 kg), for the week of 31 August 2026.
Why is the price rising or falling?
The latest four-week movement is -2.7%. Weekly origin prices respond to harvest volumes, weather, available stocks, quality and demand from mills, bottlers and exporters. The figure describes the published series and is not a price forecast.
What is the difference between extra virgin, virgin and lampante olive oil?
Extra virgin meets the strictest chemical and sensory standards. Virgin may have minor sensory defects. Lampante is not sold directly for consumption and normally requires refining. Each grade therefore has its own wholesale market and price series.
How often is the EVOO Index updated?
The index is checked weekly and updated when a new official reference week is published. Every table identifies the exact date used.
Where does the price data come from?
The displayed series comes from European Commission DG AGRI. EVOO Index standardises the official observations into €/litre and €/100 kg; it does not invent or forecast prices.
