Our organic olive oil comes from Tunisia, one of the largest olive oil producing countries in the world. The olive trees grow in a warm and dry Mediterranean climate, which contributes to the oil’s smooth taste and high quality.

Tunisian olive oil is known for its approachable, fruity flavor with a subtle herbal note. Thanks to traditional cultivation and pressing methods, and native varieties such as Chemlali and Chetoui, the oil has a unique, balanced character that works well both cold and cooked.

Yes. Yakelos olive oil is 100% organic and meets strict European standards. No synthetic pesticides or artificial additives are used, and sustainability is central from grove to bottle.

Yakelos extra virgin olive oil is smooth and creamy, with fruity and lightly nutty notes. Many customers notice a subtle peppery aftertaste, a sign that the oil is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants.

Extra virgin olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and polyphenols. Within a balanced diet, olive oil is considered a healthy fat source that fits well in a Mediterranean lifestyle. (This does not replace medical advice.)

Organic olive oil is produced without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, which is better for the soil, biodiversity, and you as a consumer. Additionally, organic extra virgin olive oil is known for its high antioxidant content and rich flavor.

Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality category: pressed without chemical refinement, with very low acidity and a pure, fruity flavor profile. All Yakelos oils fall into this category.

“Regular” olive oil is often a blend of refined oil with a small portion of extra virgin. Extra virgin olive oil, by contrast, is completely unrefined and cold-pressed, retaining far more flavor and natural nutrients.

Our olive oil is versatile and suitable for:

• Salads and dressings
• Bread with a touch of salt or herbs for dipping
• Marinades for meat, fish, and vegetables
• Sauces and pesto
• Cooking, baking, and light frying (as long as the pan isn’t smoking heavily)

For salads, it’s best to use a fruity, mild extra virgin olive oil, exactly like Yakelos. This allows the oil to shine as a “finishing touch” over cold dishes.

Store the bottle in a cool, dark place, such as a kitchen cupboard, away from direct sunlight and heat sources like the stove. Always close the bottle tightly after use to minimize exposure to air.

Our organic olive oil is generally good for 18–24 months when unopened. The best-before date is printed on the packaging. After opening, we recommend using the oil within 6–12 months for optimal flavor and quality.

Yes, this mainly occurs at lower temperatures. Olive oil can partially solidify, causing cloudiness or small white flakes. This does not indicate a quality problem. Simply bring the bottle to room temperature and the oil will clear up naturally.

Olive oil is a natural product. Factors such as harvest year, climate, and exact harvest timing can slightly affect the flavor. We maintain strict quality control, but small variations between batches are normal.
