Overview

Rivière d'Or is produced by the Huilerie Loued (M'asarat Al Wed / Loued Olive Mill), a company founded in 1928 in Moknine by Abdessalem Loued. The brand runs a Rivière d'Or shop / showroom at Les Berges du Lac, in Tunis (Passage du Lac Dhaya, Rue du Lac Léman, Les Berges du Lac 1), with the head office and packaging also listed at Lac 2 (Prima A34, Lac 2001).

Positioning

Rivière d'Or positions itself as premium / high-end: a 100% Tunisian extra virgin olive oil, with developed organic and gift ranges. The brand claims a hand harvest and pesticide-free cultivation. It also plays the role of a multi-brand packer/exporter (Rivière d'Or, Al-Rachid, Ciento Uno).

Ethical FOMO note

Huilerie Loued illustrates a long trajectory: a brand born in 1928 that, a century later, exports to dozens of countries with a complete certification base. Building a durable brand requires the right standards from the start — and the best lots leave early in the campaign.

You too can create or source your own brand of Tunisian olive oil:

  • Private label / store brand — your brand, with certifications and a COA per lot;
  • Training — master certifications (IFS, BRC, organic), varieties, and logistics;
  • Quote — a dated quotation based on your volume and market.

We fully respect the work of established brands: we do not imitate Rivière d'Or, we help you build your project on verified data.
