I didn't know the price before tasting it. It was richer and had taste rather than regular olive oil tastes plain to me. I always bought California olive oil and not blends of various cheap oils.

Virgin olive oils are perishable and don't improve with age, buy small quantities and buy local.
About once every 6 months I treat myself to a nice wagu steak not much change out of a 100 for them, and of course I have to indulge in our local truffle season, Normally I just buy one and then have a truffle dinner party. Wify goes to markets on Sundays for Fresh seafood and meats, vegs I just get what's in season at supermarket with the exception of tomatoes where I will source out good beefsteak ones, there expensive here but worth it.
