THE COMMODITY
II.What Olive oil is, and what H-α does with it
Olive oil is graded by free acidity and by sensory panel: extra virgin below 0.8 per cent, virgin, lampante which must be refined before it is edible, and refined and pomace grades below that. Spain — Andalusia above all — sets the world price, with Italy, Greece, Türkiye, Tunisia, Portugal and Morocco behind it. Production is violently biennial and drought-exposed, so the crop year, not the month, is the unit of analysis, and bulk tanker movement into Italian bottling is the volume trade.
What the subscription does with it
The subscription reads the declared record on the olive oil headings by grade rather than as one line, keeps mills, bottlers, bulk traders and importers in one book, and carries the price basis the registry names with its cadence and print date attached. A monthly or weekly print is aged from the date the source stamped it and is never presented as today's price.
The registry’s note on the headings this subscription reads:
HS2022 IS A HARD SERIES BREAK. Before 2022 all virgin oil sat in a single undifferentiated 1509.10, which HS2022 DELETED and split three ways (.20 extra virgin, .30 virgin, .40 other virgin); 1509.90 (refined and blends) carried over. Any series crossing 2021/2022 must map 1509.10 -> sum(.20+.30+.40), and an extra-virgin-only series before 2022 cannot be built from HS6.
150920 extra virgin olive oil (NEW in HS2022); 150930 virgin olive oil (NEW in HS2022); 150940 other virgin olive oils (NEW in HS2022); 150990 other olive oil (refined, and refined/virgin blends)
The registry’s caveat on the price anchor:
The best free anchor in Wave 3. Two API gotchas: `price` is a STRING WITH A EURO SIGN and dates are DD/MM/YYYY. Licence honesty: the docs confirm a rate-limiting policy exists but state NO numeric limit, and NO licence is stated — Commission data is generally reusable under Decision 2011/833/EU but that is not asserted. IOC monthly figures are prose in a news post with no feed; Poolred's detail is gated and its basis (ex-works mill, EUR/tonne, transaction-weighted) is NOT interchangeable with the EU market basis.
