Overview

Oilyssa is the commercial brand of the company Bizerta Agri Industry. The named executive (CEO) is Amine Sifaoui.

Oilyssa's business is built around two complementary lines: sales under its own brand (Oilyssa) and a private label offer aimed at European customers.

Positioning

Oilyssa positions itself as a premium producer / bottler and private label supplier of Tunisian olive oil for export. The brand highlights a quality guarantee, attractive design and competitive prices, with a range that includes organic and premium single-varietals. The dual positioning (own brand + private label) makes it a player built for international markets and sourcing.

Ethical FOMO note

Oilyssa supplies European distributors under private label: in practice, part of its oil reaches the market under brands other than its own. This is precisely the model that lets an importer, a retail chain or an entrepreneur own their own brand without a plant.
