A Unique Endemic Variety — Chetoui Olives
Chetoui represents about 60% of Tunisian olive trees. This rustic variety, perfectly adapted to the semi-arid climate, offers small olives but with exceptional aromatic richness. Its name derives from the Arabic word "chemal" (north), recalling its origins in northern Tunisia. Chetoui olives, hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, are cold-pressed within 6 hours of picking to preserve all their aromatic complexity.
