Overview

Tunihuile is a Tunisian company for the production, packing and export of olive oil, founded in 2005.

Its export operations rely on Tunisian ports, notably Sfax; the precise headquarters location is not confirmed with certainty.

The company claims a storage capacity of around 10,000 tonnes and an annual export volume of around 20,000 tonnes, placing it among the largest Tunisian olive oil exporters. These orders of magnitude illustrate a primarily industrial, volume-driven model, structured for international trade rather than retail sales under its own brand.

Direct access to Tunisian ports, and notably to Sfax — the country's leading olive-growing hub — is a logistical asset for shipping large volumes to Europe and North America.

Positioning

Tunihuile positions itself as a B2B exporter of bulk olive oil volumes (mainly extra virgin and organic), on a certified quality / international trade axis. It is one of the largest Tunisian olive oil exporters, with a supplier / exporter profile rather than a premium consumer brand. Note: the official website presents a self-signed SSL certificate and remains accessible over HTTP. The reliability of the available public data is judged to be moderate.

Ethical FOMO note

Tunihuile demonstrates Tunisia's export capacity: tens of thousands of tonnes of certified olive oil shipped each year to Europe and North America. It is a respected sector player: its presence proves that there is room downstream for new packed brands and for serious importers who wish to promote Tunisian oil under their own label.
