It really depends on the country the olive oil is from. I think Italian olive oil is the most expensive and Greek olive oil is one of the cheapest. In fact the cheap olive oil I buy from the discounter here is from Crete :)

Spain produces three time more olive oil than Italy, but I am yet to see any shop in London selling Spanish olive oil. Why? Because usually it's packaged in Italy and sold as Italian since that is what customers have come to expect.
