Apparently this is why the price of olive oil skyrocketed.
It's the first time in years & my friend (highly skilled amateur chef) don't have EVOO at home: simply unaffordable. ☹️

Experts predicted olive oil prices would skyrocket due to scorching temperatures. They were right 🫒

“It’s the latest chapter in the annals of heatflation — when scorching temperatures harm crops and push food prices up. A yearlong drought and a spring of extreme heat in Spain, the world’s largest olive oil producer, devastated the country’s olive groves. Spanish olive oil production fell by a half — from an estimated 1.3 million to 610,000 metric tons — over the past year.”
