From Tunisia to Your Table

Behind every bottle of Oleajoy lies a journey , one that begins in Tunisia’s ancient groves and ends at your table. From the way the olives are grown and harvested to the careful steps of pressing and bottling, every stage is designed to preserve purity, flavor, and tradition.

Let’s walk through the story of how Oleajoy olive oil is born.

Step 1: The Groves, Where It All Begins

Our olives grow in Moknine, Tunisia, where the Mediterranean climate provides the perfect balance of sun, soil, and sea breeze. These groves are more than fields; they are living history, passed down through generations of farmers who respect the rhythm of nature.

Step 2: Harvesting by Hand

Timing is everything. Olives are picked at their peak , not too early, not too late to capture the best balance of fruitiness, aroma, and healthy polyphenols. At Oleajoy, much of the harvest is still done by hand, ensuring minimal damage to the fruit and maximum respect for the trees.

Step 3: Cold Pressing Within Hours

Freshness is key. Within hours of being harvested, the olives are brought to our mill.

Here, they undergo first cold pressing, a process that extracts oil without heat or chemicals. This method preserves:

Nutrients & antioxidants
Authentic fruity & peppery notes
Silky, golden texture

The result? Genuine Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), pure and unaltered.

Step 4: Testing & Certification

At Oleajoy, quality isn’t just a promise , it’s proven. Every batch is tested

in-house and certified under international standards, including:

CCPB Organic
STAR-K Kosher
ISO 22000, IFS & BRC

This ensures that what reaches your kitchen is nothing short of excellence.

Step 5: Bottling with Care

Finally, the oil is bottled in dark glass containers, protecting it from light and preserving its freshness. Every bottle is sealed with the same dedication that began in the groves ,so when you open it, you experience olive oil at its finest.

From Tunisia to Your Table

What makes Oleajoy different isn’t just the process , it’s the passion. From grove to glass, every step is about honoring heritage, protecting purity, and sharing Tunisia’s olive oil legacy with the world.

So next time you drizzle Oleajoy over a salad, dip bread into its golden richness, or finish a dish with a silky touch, know that you’re savoring a

journey centuries in the making.

Takeaway: Oleajoy olive oil is more than an ingredient, it’s a story of tradition and Mediterranean authenticity bottled for your table.
