Tunisian extra virgin olive oil is a hidden culinary gem, offering a truly unique taste and flavors thanks to its exceptional terroir. At Golden Olive Oil, we act as its ambassador, inviting you to taste of Tunisia’s rich culture and vibrant culinary heritage.
Taysir (aka Ty) has been passionate about olive oil for many years now. It all started in his home country Tunisia where olive groves are almost everywhere covering 1/3 of the country. The local cuisine carries olive oil in most dishes. It is obvious that these circumstances have made him an olive oil lover.
For over 2,800 years, Tunisia has been an epicenter of exceptional olive oil, rooted in traditions dating back to the Phoenicians. Its unique terroir produces olive oils with remarkable flavors and quality, yet for decades, these oils were quietly exported to other countries, blended, and sold under Italian and Spanish labels.
Today, that story is changing with a new generation of Tunisian producers showcasing the world what makes their olive oil special: authentic, organic, and premium extra virgin olive oil that stands out for its rich taste and its unique flavor profiles. This dedication has earned Tunisia hundreds of medals at international competitions, including the prestigious New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC) (close to 100 gold medals).
