Tunisia’s Olive Tree Legacy:
Centuries in Every Bottle
Experience Tunisia’s olive oil heritage with Oleajoy—every bottle carries generations of tradition, sun, and authentic Mediterranean flavor.
Every drop of Oleajoy olive oil carries a story , a story rooted in Tunisia’s sun-drenched soil and centuries-old olive groves. Long before olive oil became a global symbol of wellness and flavor, Tunisia was already living and breathing this golden tradition.
A Heritage as Old as Civilization
Olive cultivation in Tunisia dates back over 3,000 years, beginning with the Phoenicians and later refined under Roman influence. Today, Tunisia is home to more than 88 million olive trees, many of them centuries old. Some groves have been passed down from generation to generation, producing olives from the same resilient trees that once shaded ancient farmers.
These trees are more than crops , they’re symbols of endurance, rooted in the Mediterranean spirit.
Tunisia: A Global Olive Oil Powerhouse
Though often called the Mediterranean’s hidden gem, Tunisia is one of the world’s largest exporters of olive oil. Its unique climate , long summers, mild winters, and mineral-rich soil produces oils with:
- Fruity and floral notes
- Balanced bitterness and peppery finish
- A richness that chefs and families around the globe treasure
Oleajoy proudly continues this legacy, bringing Tunisian olive oil to new tables worldwide.
From Family Groves to Global Kitchens
At Oleajoy, this isn’t just business , it’s personal. Our roots trace back to the fertile groves of Moknine, where tradition and innovation meet. What began as a family heritage has grown into a state-of-the-art facility, blending ancient knowledge with modern certifications:
