Question: 

Does the price actually mean anything when it comes to the quality of the oil? Would a $20 bottle of olive oil really be better than a $3 bottle if they were both processed in the same manner?

Answer: 

While the nutritional advantages of oils may be similar, a more expensive oil usually has superior taste. If you look at the winners of the LA county fair olive oil competition in this issue, you will not find any cheap mass market oils.
