Guide
For everyday oil, own-brand rapeseed and blended vegetable oils sit at the bottom of the price range, and olive oil costs several times more per litre. Below: guide prices per litre from June 2026, the Kassensturz lab test on frying and which oil suits which job.
Updated regularly. All prices are per-litre guide values from the chains' own-brand lines and change every week. Rappn is neutral and has no commercial deal with any retailer, so we only state what the sources support. Where a figure could not be hard-confirmed this session, we flag it openly.
Reference, June 2026: cooking oil guide prices per litre
Prices as of June 2026, not current. Current deals are at the top of this page.
| Oil (1-litre own-brand) | Chain | Guide price per litre | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetable oil (blend) | Coop Prix Garantie | approx. CHF 2.50 | coop.ch |
| Rapeseed oil | Lidl Vita d'or | approx. CHF 2.49 | Lidl / saldo.ch |
| Rapeseed oil | Coop Prix Garantie | approx. CHF 3.50 | coop.ch |
| Swiss rapeseed oil (Suisse Garantie) | Aldi Bellasan / Denner | varies weekly, compare in Rappn | Aldi / Denner |
| Sunflower oil | Coop Prix Garantie | approx. CHF 4.95 | coop.ch |
| Rapeseed oil M-Budget | Migros | approx. CHF 3.50 | migipedia.migros.ch, as of June 2026 |
The key point: no single store is cheapest every week. The discount lines (Prix Garantie at Coop, M-Budget at Migros, Vita d'or at Lidl, Bellasan at Aldi) all sit close together, and the weekly promotion decides the winner. That is exactly what a neutral price comparison makes visible.

Which oil is best for frying and deep-frying?
Here it is not price that matters but heat stability. A lab test by Kassensturz (SRF) and Saldo examined 20 of the best-selling rapeseed and sunflower oils. The result: all 20 lived up to their "suitable for frying" claim, but quality varied. Three rapeseed oils scored best, the Bellasan rapeseed oil from Aldi, the Sabo oil (sold at Manor) and the Volg own brand. The so-called HO and HOLL oils (High Oleic for sunflower, HOLL for rapeseed) showed the best heat and storage stability, but a weaker frying aroma. For high temperatures and deep-frying, HOLL rapeseed oil and HO sunflower oil are the safe choice. Source: Kassensturz/SRF and Saldo.
Between rapeseed and sunflower there was barely any difference in heating or aroma. However, several sunflower oils fell short on freshness and oxidation stability, while rapeseed oil stayed fresher on the shelf and scored on its better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. That makes rapeseed the health winner, with extra-virgin olive oil the flavour winner.
Before you grab the next bottle: a quick look in the Rappn app shows which of the 7 chains near you has rapeseed or sunflower oil on promotion this week.
Sunflower vs rapeseed vs olive oil: what goes in the basket for cooking?
| Use | Best value oil | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Searing, wok, medium heat | Rapeseed oil (own brand) | cheap, good omega ratio, neutral |
| Deep-frying, high heat | HOLL rapeseed / HO sunflower | best heat and storage stability (Kassensturz) |
| Salad, cold finish | Extra-virgin olive oil | flavour, but expensive in 2026 (up to CHF 8/l) |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest cooking oil in Switzerland?
The cheapest are the discount own brands: Coop Prix Garantie vegetable oil is around CHF 2.50 per litre and Lidl's Vita d'or rapeseed oil around CHF 2.49 (as of June 2026, sources coop.ch and saldo.ch). Pure sunflower oil is usually slightly more. The Rappn app shows which chain in your region has cooking oil on promotion this week.
Rapeseed or sunflower oil for frying, which is better?
Both fry well. In the Kassensturz/Saldo lab test there was barely a difference when heated, but rapeseed stayed fresher and has the better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. For high heat and deep-frying, HOLL rapeseed or HO sunflower oil is the most stable.
Why is olive oil so much more expensive than rapeseed oil?
Drought-driven crop failures in Italy, Spain and Greece have sharply raised purchasing prices. According to 20 Minuten, a litre of Coop Prix Garantie olive oil vergine now costs around CHF 8, about 16 percent more. Rapeseed and sunflower oil have become cheaper over the same period.
What does HOLL mean on rapeseed oil?
HOLL stands for High Oleic, Low Linolenic. These rapeseed varieties were bred for a high share of stable oleic acid and a low share of fragile linolenic acid. That makes HOLL oil especially heat- and storage-stable, ideal for frying and deep-frying, with a slightly milder frying aroma than classic rapeseed oil.
Is it worth buying the cheapest oil?
For everyday cooking, yes: in the test all 20 rapeseed and sunflower oils met their claim, and some own brands (Aldi's Bellasan, Volg) were even among the winners. More expensive does not automatically mean better here. Comparing still pays off, because the weekly price per litre swings between chains.
