A good extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) does not have to be expensive.

This is demonstrated by the prestigious EVOOLEUM Guide, from the Mercacei Editorial Group, which includes the best on the planet.

According to its latest edition, published last October, among the best EVOOs in the world are 68 Spanish and of those,

19 cost less than 10 euros.

Below is the list (from lowest to highest price)

of the TOP10 extra virgin olive oils

in 500 ml format with a cost between 3.30 and 8 euros.

They can all be purchased in the online stores of each brand, almost always in packs of 3, 6 or more units and, without a doubt, they will make the January slope more bearable.
