Tunisia
Tunisia’s relationship with olive oil is one of the oldest and most continuous in human history, spanning over 3,000 years. The olive tree is so central to the national identity.
In the Punic Era, the Carthaginians turned olive oil into a commercial powerhouse. Succeeding to that era, olive oil has long remained a backbone of Tunisia’s economy. In the Cap Bon peninsula, the “Patriarch of Echraf”—an olive tree estimated to be over 2,500 years old—still bears fruit today, a living link to the Carthaginian era.
Tunisia is a major player in the olive oil production. In 2026, it becomes the second largest producer Worldwide. While Chemlali olive variey (Mild & Fruity with notes of green apple, almond, and fresh grass) and Chetoui olive variey (Robust & Peppery with intense aromas of green almond and herbs) represent nearly 80% of Tunisian production, recent years have seen a surge in gourmet interest for rare, regional varieties such as Oueslati, Sayali, Chemchali, Zarrazi, etc.
From the Roots of Carthage to Your Table
Taste Millennia, Not Just Oil
Tunisia’s unique terroir, a sun-drenched alchemy of clay, limestone, and sea breeze, gifts our olives a personality unlike any other. It’s a taste of place: a bold, green, peppery kick with hints of fresh-cut artichoke and wild herbs, followed by a smooth, almond finish. This isn’t a uniform, industrial product, it’s the authentic voice of a specific hillside, in a specific year. We capture that voice, unfiltered.
