Hi Ricardo,
Thanks so much for your post. How wonderful that you can grow and produce your own olives/olive oil!

I agree that high quality olive oil in the US seems overpriced. Thanks for the reminder about buying local. We don't have many states in the US that produce olive oil but your comment motivates me to connect with the California Olive Oil Industry and get to know some farmers and producers there. And, when you say local, you may mean "your" local. Since you dabble in the EVOO industry, is there a network of trustworthy "locally grown" olive oil producers that we can tap into to help us get to know the EVOO farmers and producers from other countries? Many people, myself included, would much prefer knowing and supporting a "local' EVOO farmer/producer.
