About OLYFO, buying and our products
OLYFO is a Tunisian producer and exporter of premium extra virgin olive oil and Mediterranean antipasti, founded in 2020. We grow olives on our own farms in Kairouan and Zaghouan, press in Kairouan and Jammel, bottle and store at partner facilities in Jammel (Monastir) and Mornag (Tunis), and export to more than 12 countries on five continents. Our ranges are the 2500 Years of Tradition extra virgin olive oils — OLYFO Gold, OLYFO Gold Organic and OLYFO Origins — and Poppa Peppa Tunisian antipasti.
OLYFO works with four Tunisian-grown cultivars: Chemlali (soft, buttery, lightly bitter — Tunisia’s signature variety, used in OLYFO Origins and Gold Organic), Koroneiki (fruity, peppery and stable — used in OLYFO Gold), Chetoui (intense, green and high in polyphenols) and Oueslati (aromatic, medium intensity). The latter two are available for bulk and private label.
OLYFO’s 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. Our oils are pressed and bottled at a facility operating under ISO 22000 and HACCP food-safety management, with Halal and Non-GMO certification and Kosher certification in progress.
OLYFO extra virgin olive oils have earned Gold at the London International Olive Oil Competition (LIOOC), Gold at Olio Nuovo Days Paris, Gold at ONH Tunisia, Silver at NYIOOC New York 2025 and Silver at the Canada IOOC. OLYFO Origins was first recognised at the Canada & London IOOC in 2021. Every medal is judged blind by international panels.
Tunisia is one of the world’s largest olive oil producers and exporters, and a significant share of its harvest is exported in bulk to Italy and Spain, where it is blended and bottled under European labels. Buying Tunisian-origin extra virgin olive oil like OLYFO’s means getting that same Mediterranean quality directly from source — traceable to the grove, at its freshest. Tunisian oils regularly win Gold at the world’s leading competitions, including NYIOOC and LIOOC.

OLYFO olive oil is grown and produced entirely in Tunisia.

Tunisia is one of the world’s largest olive oil producers, with a cultivation tradition stretching back more than 2,500 years — it once supplied olive oil to the Roman Empire.

Store your olive oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Make sure the bottle is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness.
Extra virgin olive oil is made from the first cold press of olives and has the highest concentration of antioxidants and flavors. Regular olive oil is more refined and may have undergone additional processing.
Yes, OLYFO extra virgin olive oil is versatile and can be used for everything from salads to light sautéing. For deep frying, we recommend using it at moderate temperatures.
Variations in flavor occur naturally as olives are an agricultural product affected by the season, climate, and soil. This makes each batch of OLYFO olive oil unique.
