You may have noticed recently that the global olive oil shortage is now impacting New Zealand with many brands out of stock and prices starting to climb. Despite the best efforts of retailers and importers who have largely managed to buffer New Zealand to date, the shortage has led to the international price tripling in the past 24 months, according to the European Commision, and is expected to impact pricing and availability for some time. Fortunately, New Zealand produces a range of homegrown cold pressed oils, such as The Good Oil, which provide great options for kiwis to continue using high quality cold pressed oils. Now is a great opportunity to support the local producers available in your local store and The Good Oil is seeing remarkable growth at present. So, thank you to all of you who continue to enjoy and support The Good Oil! You can read more here:

Why is there an olive oil shortage in New Zealand and what are the alternatives? You may have noticed the rapid price increase of olive oil in your local supermarket in recent weeks, or in many cases, empty shelves.
