For thousands of years olive oil has been prominent in all the great civilizations that have prospered in Tunisia, and the Chemlali olive in particular is prized for its high oil content. Olive cultivation in Zarzis Tunisia dates back to the 8th century BCE.
This beautiful golden extra virgin olive oil has a bright, grassy aroma, with a light and smooth consistency. It has slightly woody, grassy and fruity flavors, with an intense and exciting peppery finish.
Our Family Harvest Chemlali extra virgin is an extremely versatile, all-purpose olive oil -- drizzle over fresh pasta or toasted artisan breads for a bruschetta or crostini with some blood Orange Balsamic Vinegar; finish over grilled fish, chicken and vegetables as a means of replacing butter.
