We’re just about through our most recent 3 litre tin of Aldi house brand Aussie oil (“The Olive Tree”) - which I think was a Cobram Estate product inside.
Now it looks like the product has been punted for an imported one. :-( I’d like to buy Australian. Has anyone here found a good substitute for the Aldi item at a sensible price? I’ve noted the supermarket costs on Cobram estate, but are there any smaller producers offering a competitive (by price, quality) product? We use about 6 litres/year, so serious bulk buying isn’t really an option. Even a producer that’s not too far out the way on a Sydney-Melbourne run (Swan Hill is probably a sensible limit to detours) might be an option. |

CB, at that useage rate, I’d suggest buying in smaller bottles.
The “goodness” of olive oil is quickly lost to oxidation.

we go through quite alot of olive oil.
Buy aussie and imports - need base's, 1L to 5L depending price. My only gripe typically anything aussie is higher price, we still buy either just depends the timing whats on "sale".
