Olive oil is expensive and currently rare: you can use it instead for salads and for frying. Recently, weather conditions, including drought, have led to crop failures.

The Tagesschau reports that olive oil prices rose by 43.5 percent in November compared to the previous month. Currently, it looks like prices could continue to rise in the future. So it's high time to look at how you can replace olive oil in the kitchen. If you don't want to dig deeper into your wallet, you can look for alternatives. You should generally note that cold-pressed oils are actually more suitable for cold cuisine.
