From Grove to Container — One Quality Chain
Partner farm sourcing, first cold press extraction, on-site storage, and per-batch lab analysis across our Tunisian olive oil supply chain.
Sourcing
The Partner Farm Network
Olives are sourced from a network of certified partner farms concentrated in Mahdia and Sfax. Selection is on organic compliance, harvest practice, and transport-to-press timing — not on price alone.
Every partner farm is held to the same organic standard and the same per-batch testing protocol. That uniformity is what keeps a 1 L sample consistent with the 24,000 L flexitank that ships against it.
Relationships run multi-year, with annual independent verification of organic status.
Harvest
Harvest, October to January
The Tunisian olive harvest runs from October to January, with timing per partner farm set by fruit maturity rather than calendar.
Olives are moved from grove to press within hours of picking to preserve free acidity at the low end of the EVOO range.

Extraction
First Cold Press Extraction
Extraction is mechanical, first press only, with the process temperature held below 27°C — the cold-press ceiling that preserves polyphenols and volatile compounds.
No chemical solvents, no thermal extraction, no second-run refining is used at any point. The output is single-stream extra virgin olive oil, organic certified across the chain.
Each press batch is sampled before transfer to storage, then logged against its source farm and harvest date.
Storage
On-Site Stabilized Storage
Stainless steel tanks on-site hold inventory between harvests under controlled temperature, smoothing availability beyond the harvest window.
Stabilized storage between extraction and shipment lets framework buyers draw against held volume rather than the spot market, which is what makes 6 to 12 month contracts viable.

Quality control
Per-Batch Lab Analysis
Lab report issued with every shipment.
- Free acidity, expressed as percentage oleic acid.
- Peroxide value, in meq O₂/kg.
- K232 and K270, UV spectrophotometry.
- Sensory panel verification of EVOO grade.
- Polyphenol content, measured per program on request.
Traceability
Batch Traceability — Grove to Container
Each finished lot carries a batch code that links it back to its source partner farm, harvest date, and lab report. The chain is reconstructable in either direction, which is what audit-driven buyers need at customs and at retailer compliance review.
Documentation travels with the shipment, not after it.
Export prep
Export-Ready Packaging
Bulk formats — flexitank, IBC, drums, and food-grade tanker — are loaded directly from on-site tanks. Bottled lines from 0.25 L to 5 L are palletized to EUR or US standards.
The export document pack is prepared and issued before the container loads under FOB, CIF, CFR, EXW, or DAP.
