Conclusion:

The U.S. and LATAM olive oil market continues to grow, but with clear differences between buyers of Spanish oil and those of Italian oil. While some importers bet on the versatility and competitiveness of Spanish oil, others prefer the tradition and brand recognition of Italian oil.

For European producers, this means that there is no single strategy:

• If you export Spanish oil, you will need to highlight your quality-price and consistency to attract large mass distributors.
• If you sell Italian oil, your differential value will be in prestige, denominations of origin and premium packaging.
