Premium Tunisian Olive Oil — The Heritage of Thuburbo Majus

Tunisia, a land of olive trees since antiquity, produces some of the purest and most refined premium olive oils in the world. At the crossroads of Phoenician, Roman, and Berber civilizations, this Mediterranean country has developed unique expertise in olive cultivation. Premium Tunisian olive oil, made from endemic varieties like Chetoui, is recognized for its exceptional quality and polyphenol richness.

Exceptional Terroir — Thuburbo Majus

The lands of Thuburbo Majus, an ancient Roman city in the heart of Tunisia, offer ideal conditions for olive growing. Mineral-rich clay soils, dry Mediterranean climate, and thermal variations between day and night give the olives exceptional organoleptic properties. It is on these sacred lands that CARTAEA premium olive oil is born, an extra virgin olive oil that captures the essence of the Mediterranean terroir.

Millennial Heritage of Tunisian Olive Oil

The olive tree has been present in Tunisia for over 3,000 years. The Carthaginians were among the first to perfect extraction techniques, later passed on to the Romans who developed a true olive oil industry. Today, Tunisia is the world's fourth-largest olive oil producer, renowned for the exceptional quality of its extra virgin olive oils. This millennial tradition lives on in every bottle of premium olive oil CARTAEA.
