Origin846: the unfiltered single-varietal EVOO of the CHO
In brief: Origin846 is a brand of the CHO Group dedicated to the North American market. It offers a single-varietal Chetoui, unfiltered, decanted and polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oil, in a signature 846 mL format as a nod to Queen Elyssa (born in 846 BC). Distinct from the flagship Terra Delyssa brand, it is distributed in the United States and Canada.
Overview
Origin846 is published by the CHO Group (CHO Group / CHO America), a Tunisian leader in olive oil production and export, born from the traditional mill of Sakiet Eddaïer in 1996. It is the same group as the Terra Delyssa brand, from which Origin846 differs through a specific North American export positioning.
North American distribution relies on entities in Houston (Texas, USA) and St-Laurent (Quebec, Canada). The oil is single-sourced from Tunisian groves in the Sfax region (the group's historic birthplace in Sakiet Eddaïer).
The brand's name and format refer to the Phoenician/Carthaginian storytelling: Queen Elyssa-Dido, born in 846 BC, hence the signature format of 846 mL.

Positioning
Origin846 positions itself as premium / high-end: a single-varietal, unfiltered, decanted, polyphenol-rich EVOO, backed by Phoenician storytelling (Queen Elyssa-Dido, 846 BC). Designed for the North American market (USA/Canada), it is presented as a traceable, organic, artisanal oil oriented toward health/nutrition. It is the CHO Group's dedicated export brand, distinct from its flagship Terra Delyssa.
Ethical FOMO note
Origin846 illustrates an effective strategy: a Tunisian group that creates a dedicated brand for a specific market (North America), with a distinctive format and story. This differentiation is reproducible — provided you act on the right campaign, because premium unfiltered volumes are limited and seasonal.
You too can create or source your own Tunisian olive oil brand:
- Private label — your brand, format and label, with a per-lot COA;
- Training — master quality, varieties and certifications before you start;
- Quote — a dated quotation based on your market and volume.
Our approach respects established brands: we do not imitate Origin846, we help you build your project on verified data.
