Always wanted to say that…. But instead of the newspaper presses we are talking about olive oil presses. Producers are in state of panic, they simply do not have enough olives to press. The olive harvest has been more then disappointing this year in Italy. Olive oil is getting scarce for the first time in years. So that brings a lot of price pressure, increases of 30-40% are expected.

Talking about newspapers, the news about the  olive shortage has also hit the Dutch newspapers, funny, because that country is not quite known for its huge olive oil production or consumption:-)
