Spain must be shipping the bad one abroad. Jokes aside, they are huge producers, so they also produce cheap one. If I don’t know the brand, I stay away from Spanish oil at the supermarket because it could be potentially really bad. For some reason the Italian one is more consistent.

Clearly this has little to do with what country produces the best one, I am talking about supermarket oil.

Lol, because it's basically Spanish. Italy doesn't produce enough olive oil and buys tons of it from Spain.

Then it would be equally bad sometimes right? I don’t see how that explains my observation.

You are saying that you always avoid the Spanish olive oil in the supermarket and go instead for the Italian one, which is more consistent.

And I pointed out that the 'Italian' olive oil you buy in the supermarket is mostly a blend with Spanish one, if not entirely Spanish.

So you seem to like Spanish olive oil but simply don't know it ;-)
