We all assume that bottle of extra virgin olive oil sitting in our pantry is a cheap, infinite resource. You grab it for roasting, tossing salads, and sautéing without a second thought. But that everyday staple is about to become a rare luxury good.

Unprecedented heatwaves across the Mediterranean—specifically in Spain, Italy, and Greece, which produce the vast majority of the world’s supply—have completely scorched this year’s harvest. Historic droughts have left ancient olive trees barren, with production plummeting by more than 40% in key regions. The world’s ‘liquid gold’ is drying up at an alarming rate, fueling a severe global Olive Oil Shortage.

So, what is the timeline for US shoppers? Expect to see the fallout hitting your local supermarket shelves within the next two to three months. By late fall, industry experts project retail prices will spike by up to 50%, with some premium extra virgin brands becoming almost impossible to find. If you rely on this Mediterranean staple for your daily cooking, stocking up now might be your only defense against the impending sticker shock.
