How it tastes
Chemlali is Tunisia’s signature variety and the backbone of the country’s harvest. It gives a softer, rounder oil than Koroneiki — buttery, with almond and ripe apple, and only a light bitterness. Grown organically and pressed the same day, it keeps a clean, fresh character that suits people who find Italian and Spanish oils too aggressive.
What to use it for
Everywhere. Salads, dressings, vegetables, baking, and straight onto bread. It is the oil to reach for when you do not want the oil to dominate.
Harvest and freshness
Tunisian olives are picked in November and December. Ours are pressed the same day they are picked, which is the single biggest factor in how an oil tastes and how long it lasts — olives left in sacks overnight start to ferment, and no amount of care afterwards recovers that.
Oil from each harvest ships from December. Shelf life is 24 months from production, so a bottle bought today is well inside its life. Store it in the dark at room temperature and use it; olive oil does not improve with age.
Certificate of analysis
Every lot is laboratory-tested before it ships and travels with a certificate of analysis covering:
- Free acidity — the headline quality figure, expressed as oleic acid
- Peroxide value — how far oxidation has progressed
- Sensory assessment — a tasting panel confirming the fruity character and the absence of defects
The certificate is for the specific lot you receive, not a brochure figure. If you want to see one before you order, ask and we will send a recent example. Email sales@olyfo.com.
