Have no idea why you are getting downvoted. You definitely do need to pay more than average for a decent olive oil. And if you look, there are plenty of good options for high quality and high polyphenol oil at reasonable prices. Just have to dig. r/oliveoil is a good place to start as there are some good discussions and people like to post their finds. Be aware that there are lots of people in that subreddit that kinda sorta shill their own olive oil. Usually they are excellent oils but often quite expensive. Again, you get what you pay for for the most part.
