Chemlali and the Future of Olive Oil
As climate change and desertification threaten olive production across southern Europe, Tunisia stands out. Its native Chemlali olive tree is remarkably resilient to dry conditions and declining rainfall. While others face uncertainty, Tunisia may offer a sustainable path forward—where tradition and climate resilience meet in every bottle of our olive oil.

Did your olive oil solidify in the cold? Don’t worry — it’s completely natural. Olive oil typically solidifies around -6°C, but this has no impact on its quality or flavour. The real threats to olive oil are oxygen, light and heat, which is why proper storage is essential. Always choose oil in dark bottles or tins and store it in a cool, dark place.
