Zitouna Export — Tunisian olive oil, from terroir to
In brief. Zitouna Export is an exporter of bulk Tunisian olive oil — extra virgin, virgin, organic and private label (OEM) — based in Sfax, at the heart of the country's leading olive-growing basin. Our business: connecting Tunisian olive groves to importers, bottlers, buying groups and brand builders worldwide, with a constant demand for quality, traceability and compliance.
Our mission
To make Tunisian olive oil the best value for money in the Mediterranean basin accessible to international buyers — without unnecessary intermediaries, backed by analyses and with logistics mastered from the port of departure to your warehouse.
Tunisia is one of the very top producers and exporters of olive oil in the world (exact rank to be confirmed depending on the harvest ), and one of the historic bulk suppliers to both Spain and Italy. Our conviction: this oil deserves to be sold under its own origin, at its fair value, rather than blended anonymously into foreign assemblages.
Our terroir
- Sfax and Central Tunisia: terroir of the Chemlali variety, mild and balanced, the foundation of quality mass production.
- The North (Béja, Téboursouk…): terroir of the Chetoui variety, pungent and rich in polyphenols — a premium profile close to the great Italian oils.
- A hot, dry climate that naturally limits pest pressure: a real asset for the organic sector.
