Olive oil really that much better from Spain?

It's more complicated than that, geographically and based on olive varietal. But the ex raved about the Oleoestepa (hojiblanca) on the train (tiny MRE sized Tabasco bottle to be used on a sandwich) from Marseilles to Barca to the point I didn't buy any other brand ( Oleoestepa) It tastes like more than just oil, for sure, and it's distinct. I just buy the 2.5l tin, and fill smaller green bottles from Bezos, but you do have to pay attention to when harvesting season is so you don't get stuck trying to buy out of season. So it became a bit of a thing. I averaged about $90 a year on olive oil, always the same brand and olive type.
It's kind of like tasting Kerrygold salted butter for the first time. You didn't know what you were missing.

The right olive oil from Spain is said to be the best in the world. It is strictly regulated there.

You can buy what I referenced right now. I'm going to butcher this, but there is a limited release of olive oil which is essentially a bit cloudy, but it's fruitier, and it's sort of the unaged first press; best on salads typically, and not as versatile. The stuff I linked to is filtered, and aged a bit, and can be used on anything. What I meant to get at is that when they're out of olives, they're out of oil. Get your tin before they run out.

I bought a soft bike case and broke the bike down and packed it on the sidewalk outside our hotel the night before we flew out of Brussels. Had to pay $200 to check it on the flight.
