  • How is olive oil made in Tunisia?
  • Making Olive oil in Tunisia. Tunisia’s extra virgin olive oil has the highest quality olive oil available, providing the greatest taste and all the health advantages associated with olive oil. The olives are crushed in a mill, and the oil is removed mechanically — as opposed to refined oil, which is extracted using heat or chemicals.
  • What products are available in Tunisia?
  • Tunisia has unique natural products typical of the North African region. These include olive oil and hot spices such as Harissa. Tunisia is also an attractive procurement market, notably for olives, olive wood, and olive oil. Tunisian olive oil is lauded for its buttery taste, delicate and light texture, and nutritional profile.
  • What makes Tunisia a good oil producer?
  • To achieve high-quality oil, olives must be healthy, harvested directly from the tree (not from the ground), and immediately transported to the oil mill for processing. Today, 95% of Tunisia’s olive groves are chemical-free. Olives are still harvested by hand in the fields.
  • How much does bottled olive oil cost in Tunisia?
  • Mtiraoui says he produces around 40 tonnes of olive oil a day over the five-month production season, equating to around 6,000 tonnes of olive oil a year. He sells the olive oil for around 26 dinars ($8.41) a litre. A Tunisian Agriculture Ministry official said he believed bottled olive oil would yield 30%-50% more profit after the cost of bottling.
