Spain, the world's leading producer

It is no secret to Spaniards that in Germany our extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is increasingly in demand and appreciated. It is also true that our Italian friends lead sales in Germany. But what many people in Germany probably don't know is that the transalpine country buys a lot of Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil from us for export. Didn't know that? Italy produces less than one third of what Spain produces when it comes to olive oil, and since it consumes a lot domestically, it needs other olive oils to be able to export. And although that is legal, of course, from Spain we want to assert our origin and that we DO NOT need to blend our oil with others and still call it Spanish extra virgin olive oil. In the 2023/2024 production year, Spain nearly reached 800,000 tonnes of olive oil compared to Italy's 290,000. Spain produces and bottles it in its own country, as it has more than 2.5 million hectares of olive groves, representing almost half of the olive groves in the world. Aceite de oliva virgen extra Español, diverso y de la mejor calidad Spanish olive oil stands out for its quality and diversity, as there are numerous olive varieties, each with a unique flavor and aroma. Its oils range from a mild taste like 100% Arbequina EVOO, to the intense flavor of 100% Picual EVOO. In addition, a highly valued characteristic of Spanish oil is its low acidity and its high content of antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids, making it a very healthy and beneficial food for health. For all these reasons, Spanish olive oil is valued both nationally and internationally, and it has become a fundamental part of the economy and culture of many countries, especially those on the Mediterranean coast.

Price in Germany for Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Much More Expensive Than in Spain

Indeed, we have checked the prices of Spanish extra virgin olive oils in Germany, and the prices are much higher than in our own market. This often happens because consumers' unfamiliarity with the products they buy prevents them from being more demanding. I'm not saying they're being cheated, but you can't tell which ones are of the highest quality and which aren't just by the packaging and the price. I believe that distributors in Germany, who are mostly Italian, do not look out for the end customer. Let's remember that extra virgin olive oil is an extremely important product for our health. Our products, those that carry the Made in Spain Gourmet Guarantee, and therefore the highest product quality, are becoming better known in Germany, and we have customers who place orders for 4–5 five-liter tins because they believe it's an excellent investment for what it costs them (about €300 for the 5 tins). Since shipping is free from €350, they take advantage of it. Both our 500 ml glass products and the 5-liter products, in tin or PET, are excellent. Isbilya, Jacoliva, Verde Divino, Oro La Senda, Set d’Oli, Mas Montseny, Castillo de Canena and Sitena are the brands you can enjoy at Made in Spain Gourmet. With fast shipping via UPS, to guarantee shipment traceability, door to door with the same company. So, if you live in Germany, take advantage of our online store to enjoy the best extra virgin olive oil in the world at home.
