Zeit Tounsi Chetoui Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For centuries, olive oil has been at the heart of Tunisian culture, cuisine, and Mediterranean heritage, and the Chetoui olive is one of Tunisia’s most celebrated varieties, particularly prized for its rich flavor and distinctive peppery character. Grown in the fertile olive-growing regions of northern Tunisia, Chetoui olives produce a beautifully robust extra virgin olive oil with a deep green-gold color and a fresh, vibrant aroma. This exceptional oil offers a full-bodied taste with grassy, herbal, and slightly fruity notes, complemented by hints of green almond and artichoke, followed by an intense, pleasantly peppery finish. Its bold character makes it an excellent choice for everyday Mediterranean cooking — drizzle over fresh pasta, toasted artisan breads, or bruschetta with a splash of Blood Orange Balsamic Vinegar; finish grilled fish, roasted chicken, and seasonal vegetables in place of butter. Pair with our Mojito Salad Dressing and Florida Lemon Juice for a refreshing Mediterranean-inspired flavor. For a truly authentic Tunisian experience, combine our Chetoui Extra Virgin Olive Oil with traditional Berber herbs and brush over baked or barbecued meats, bringing the rich, rustic flavors of North Africa straight to your table.
