Reply to comment by provenzal in [OC] Country of origin of the Top 10 World's Best Olive Oils 2012-2022 (tool:Excel) by provenzal

Is there a reason for the 2020 small number of oils from Spain in the top 10?

Probably a bad harvest.

I checked Statista, the amount in 2019/2020 is about the same as the years before. Except 2018/2019 where production was 50%(!!) higher. If it was a bad harvest, at least the quantity was not affected.

Sometimes the increase of production affects the quality of the product. If it was a rainy year for example, this increases the quantity but the more water of the olive the less acidity of the flavour.

Probably covid. The supply chain may not have been able to properly distribute the best products into the market to be considered.
