What's the most you've ever paid for Olive Oil?

We paid around $17.00 for a large tin and that was cheap. I also got a bottle of one through a gift card, and that was a bit much but it is worth it. I have a friend who sells cookware and the next time she throws a Pampered Chef party I am going to get a sprayer so I do not have to use that much for cooking. We use the expensive stuff for saueting, and salads. It is not recommended for deep frying, for that I have some peanut oil, although I will use regular olive oil for oven frying. But the extra virgin olive oil was only a couple of dollars more, so my husband said we should get it since it is good for us. I watch Rachel Ray and she uses extra virgin olive oil all the time, but then again, she does not do any deep frying.

I buy Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I wont pay more than 6 or 7 dollars for it and I use it for alot of things I cook.. I wonder if the expensive oil is better or tastes better?

I've paid about $4.00 for small bottle. I don't think I'd pay much more than that. I use it some when I'm cooking pasta dishes but it is something I can do without. I use it more for the health benefits.

Thank you for the best response. This was a good discussion since it seems that olive oil is good for you and the more people use it, the prices will come down.

Hi there... The most I've ever paid for olive oil was $6.95 for a 1 litre bottle of olive oil... We do use olive oil for cooking, but olive oil seems to last longer in our house, compared to other oils we use as well...
