Olive Oil

Tunisian Olive Oil — Mediterranean olive oil from Tunisia, pressed from Chemlali and Chetoui olives and supplied in 1L, 2L, 5L and 20L formats for wholesale purchase and international export. As a Tunisian olive oil wholesale supplier and exporter, France AJ Group Ltd (UK) supplies importers, distributors, wholesalers, foodservice operators, retailers and commercial buyers by the full container load (approx. 24–27 MT). Product quality, grade and specifications are governed by the certificate of analysis (COA) provided with each shipment.

What Is Tunisian Olive Oil?

Tunisia is one of the world's largest olive oil producers, with a Mediterranean growing climate and a long milling tradition. Tunisian olive oil is pressed primarily from two native cultivars — Chemlali and Chetoui — and is supplied across grades from extra virgin (cold-pressed, low acidity) through to refined and pomace grades for different commercial uses. Buyers sourcing Tunisian olive oil in bulk choose it for its Mediterranean origin, cultivar character and availability at container scale, whether for retail bottling, foodservice or private-label programmes.

Chemlali & Chetoui: The Cultivar Difference

The cultivar shapes the oil, so it is worth specifying. Chemlali, grown mainly in central and southern Tunisia, tends to give a milder, softer, slightly sweet oil with gentle fruitiness — well suited to blends and buyers who want a rounded, approachable profile. Chetoui, grown mainly in the north, tends to give a more robust, greener oil with more pronounced bitterness and pepperiness and higher polyphenols. Confirm the cultivar, grade and free-acidity level on the COA so the delivered oil matches your recipe or retail positioning.

Olive Oil Grades

Grade, cultivar and free-acidity level are confirmed on the certificate of analysis for each shipment.

Tunisian Olive Oil Specification

Most suppliers quote "olive oil" and stop there. That is a description, not a specification. We state indicative values below; the final specification is confirmed on the certificate of analysis issued for each shipment, so importers and distributors can verify the product against their own intake requirements.

Indicative values only. The final certificate of analysis accompanies each shipment and governs the contracted specification.

What the Specification Means for Your Programme

Specification figures only matter if you know how they translate to your market. Free acidity is the headline grade marker — extra virgin sits at ≤ 0.8% and defines a premium retail proposition, while virgin and refined grades serve everyday cooking and high-volume catering. Peroxide value indicates freshness and oxidative state, and the cultivar drives the sensory profile your customers taste. All values are indicative and confirmed on the certificate of analysis, so you can position the oil correctly for retail or foodservice.

Storage & Handling

Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat and strong odours. Olive oil is sensitive to light and heat, which accelerate oxidation, so keep bottles sealed and shaded until use and observe the shelf life stated on the certificate of analysis; correct storage is the key factor in preserving flavour, aroma and a low peroxide value.
