Terra di Olio: the CHO Group's everyday olive oil
In brief: Terra di Olio is the affordable consumer brand of the CHO Group, positioned for everyday cooking (good heat resistance, Mediterranean flavors). Produced in Sfax (Chemlali and Chetoui varieties), it is the more accessible brand in the CHO portfolio, distributed notably in France (terradiolio.fr website). Some range details are not confirmed on the official page.
Overview
Terra di Olio is published by the CHO Group, a Tunisian leader in olive oil production and export, born from the traditional mill of Sakiet Eddaïer in 1996 (CHO = Conditionnement des Huiles d'Olive).
Production is rooted in Sfax, Tunisia (headquarters: Route de Mahdia km 18, 3066 Sfax), with sites and olive groves in the governorates of Sfax, Zarzis, Gafsa and Sidi Bouzid (Sekhira, Mahrès, Skhira).
Terra di Olio is presented as a secondary brand in the CHO portfolio, positioned more accessibly than the premium flagship brand Terra Delyssa.

Positioning
Terra di Olio positions itself as mass-market / consumer: a quality olive oil for everyday cooking use, highlighting heat resistance and Mediterranean flavors. It is a secondary brand in the CHO portfolio, more accessible than the flagship premium brand Terra Delyssa, distributed notably on the French market (terradiolio.fr).
Ethical FOMO note
Terra di Olio illustrates a brand-portfolio logic: a single group (CHO) addresses both premium (Terra Delyssa) and accessible mass-market (Terra di Olio). This positioning-based segmentation is a reproducible strategy — and sourcing large, regular volumes is better secured ahead of the campaign.
You too can create or source your own brand of Tunisian olive oil:
- Private label / own brand — your mass-market or premium brand, with per-lot COA;
- Training — understand categories, culinary uses and distribution;
- Quote — a dated quotation based on your volume and your market.
We fully respect the work of established brands: we do not imitate Terra di Olio, we help you build your project on verified data.
