At Yakelos, we believe that every olive tells a story. Our journey began with the smooth and approachable Chemlali variety, which has already earned a permanent place in many kitchens. But our mission doesn’t stop at mild and gentle. Tunisia has another hidden gem: the Chetoui olive.
We are proud to share that this very variety has earned us the highest honor in Canada: the Platinum Award at the Canada International Olive Oil Competition 2025.
Two varieties, two characters
While Chemlali is known for its soft, rounded flavor with light fruitiness and a hint of almond, Chetoui offers something completely different. This oil is bolder, intensely fruity, with green notes of artichoke and apple, and a refined bitterness that true connoisseurs appreciate. It’s an olive oil that dares to stand out — perfect with a piece of bread, a caprese, or a beautifully grilled cut of meat.
Together, Chemlali and Chetoui form a beautiful duo. The first is ideal for everyday use, the second for moments when flavor should truly take the spotlight. In this way, Yakelos showcases the richness and versatility of Tunisia’s olive groves.
A new label for a new pride
Because Chetoui holds such a special place in our collection, we are launching this variety with an entirely new label. The design reflects strength and elegance — just like the oil itself. A bottle that not only delivers a refined taste, but also brings pride to any kitchen.
Thank you for your trust
This award is a milestone for our entire team, but also for everyone who supports Yakelos. Without your trust and enthusiasm, this would not have been possible. We invite you to taste the difference for yourself: the softness of Chemlali and the strength of Chetoui — together, the story of Yakelos.
