Olive oil, often nicknamed “liquid gold”, has seen a significant increase in price in recent times, reflecting the difficulties affecting both production and demand for this essential commodity. To ease the family budget during this month of December, Aldi supermarkets will soon make olive oil available at a reduced price, with a bottle price below €5. Learn more about this opportunity throughout this article.
Among the main reasons for this price increase are adverse weather conditions, such as prolonged droughts and heat waves that have affected producing regions, especially in southern Europe. These conditions significantly reduce olive production, resulting in a lower supply of olive oil on the market. Another determining factor is the increase in production costs.
Rising energy, transport and agricultural fertilizer prices have a direct impact on the final cost of the product. At the same time, global demand for olive oil has increased, especially in countries outside Europe, which further contributes to escalating prices.
For many Portuguese families, who already face limited budgets due to inflation in several essential goods, the high price of olive oil represents yet another challenge. Accustomed to using olive oil daily to prepare meals, many families are forced to rethink their purchasing habits or resort to more economical alternatives, but not always of comparable quality.
In this context, promotional campaigns such as the one announced by , in a leaflet starting next Tuesday, January 22nd, gain special importance. The opportunity to purchase Senhor do Lagar’s Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil for just €4.99, benefiting from a 16% discount on the usual price of €5.95, allows you to ease your family budget without compromising quality. This promotion could prove to be an excellent opportunity for families to stock up on an essential product, balancing quality and savings at a time when financial management becomes increasingly demanding.
