LEGACY

Olive trees and olive oil existed in Tunisia long before the arrival of the Romans. Oil from oleaster berries (zebouj or azemmour) was used before the Phoenicians introduced the olive tree. In Roman times, the development of olive growing became a social issue. The oil supplied to the "popular masses" calmed riots and revolts.

Tunisian olive oil soon spread throughout the Mediterranean basin. Its trade generated great fortunes and fostered political careers. Present in the collective imagination and cultural symbolism, the olive is a priceless treasure. In Tunisia, the olive tree is king!

PASSION

With a heritage going back over 3,000 years, we produce our olive oil according to strict quality standards. Our olives are always hand-picked, and our fields are cultivated without chemicals. Every drop of oil reflects our ancestral know-how and deep respect for nature.

Proud of this heritage, we have chosen the horse as our emblem, a symbol of fertility and prosperity for the Carthaginians. This passion, handed down from generation to generation, guides our commitment to exceptional olive oil.

CUEILLETTE

The olive harvest generally begins in November and lasts until March. Optimum quality and yield are sought, and are usually achieved when all the colors of the olive are on the tree. We continue to treat the olive trees with reverence and delicacy, just as our ancestors did. The fruit is picked by hand to preserve all the qualities of the juice.

EXTRACTION

As soon as the olives are picked, they are transported to our oil mills for processing. Whether it's a first cold pressing or a first cold extraction, we make sure that the olives are stored in the best possible way and that processing takes place on the same day and as quickly as possible. A priori control of yield and quality is carried out on olive samples.
The fruit is tested using a state-of-the-art food scan before it is even extracted.

First cold pressing:

First cold pressing refers to the use of a hydraulic press that crushes the scourtins (fiber disks) on which the olive paste is spread, creating a pressure that allows the oil to be harvested.

The first cold extraction :

Cold extraction involves kneading the olive paste so that the oil is extracted by centrifugation, in the form of fine droplets that clump together for harvesting.

A few artisan mills have retained the stone presses and millstones that have largely disappeared from their equipment, replaced by mixers and centrifuges. Hence the use of the term "cold extraction", which precisely defines the technique and now replaces "cold pressing".
