Zeetun — Tunisian organic extra virgin olive oil

In brief

  • Who? Zeetun LTD, a family business and importer / brand based in the United Kingdom, whose oil is sourced in Tunisia (family farm + partner farmers).
  • Region: Sidi Bouzid (central Tunisia) — notably Sidi Khlif Olive Farms; sourcing also from partner farmers in several regions.
  • Positioning: premium / organic — unfiltered, single-origin Tunisian EVOO, family and quality positioning, with an opening toward B2B (restaurants).

Overview

Zeetun is a brand carried by Zeetun LTD, a family business and importer / brand based in the United Kingdom. Its oil is sourced in Tunisia, from a family farm complemented by partner farmers.

The documented origin is Sidi Bouzid (central Tunisia), notably Sidi Khlif Olive Farms; sourcing also relies on partner farmers in several regions of Tunisia.

This model — a British brand that selects a single-origin Tunisian oil and promotes it to the general public and restaurants — illustrates a classic route into mature markets: the importer-brand that handles go-to-market, branding and the close customer relationship, from a Tunisian terroir oil.

Not to be confused with the distinct brand "Zetun" (zetun.co, Kairouan, Huilerie Frères Farhani, 19 awards), which is a different entity.

Positioning

Zeetun positions itself on premium / organic: a Tunisian extra virgin olive oil, unfiltered, single-origin, with a family and quality positioning, as well as an opening toward B2B (restaurants).

Ethical FOMO note

Zeetun illustrates the success of a family brand that imports a single-origin Tunisian oil and promotes it on the British market, right up to restaurants. It is a respected peer in the sector: its success shows that there is demand, in the United Kingdom, for new, well-positioned Tunisian oil brands and for serious importers.
