Our organic range is certified USDA NOP Organic and EU Organic through Ecocert (TN-BIO-001), and OLYFO is registered with the US FDA under Registration No. 18131951200 — export-ready for the United States and the European Union.
Our oils are pressed in Kairouan and Jammel, then bottled and stored at partner facilities in Jammel (Monastir) and Mornag (Tunis), operating under ISO 22000 and HACCP food-safety management, with Halal and Non-GMO certification, and Kosher certification in progress.
Every batch is laboratory-tested before shipping and travels with a certificate of analysis covering free acidity, peroxide value and sensory profile — so what is on the label is what is in the bottle.
OLYFO’s extra virgin olive oils have been recognised seven times across five international competitions: Gold at the London International Olive Oil Competition 2025, Gold at Olio Nuovo Days Paris 2025, Gold at ONH Tunisia 2025, Silver at NYIOOC New York 2025, Silver at the Canada International Olive Oil Competition 2022, and Bronze at both the London IOOC and the Canada IOOC in 2021 — where OLYFO Origins was first recognised. Every medal is judged blind by international panels, so the award goes to the oil, not the label.
