Olive groves and the unique chemlali variety
Olive groves as far as the eye can see. That’s not an image you typically associate with Tunisia, but it’s the reality. Nearly 100 million olive trees have their roots in this North African country. Worldwide, there are now more than 1,500 different varieties, each adapted to specific local conditions. Some thrive on rocky soils, while others do well in humid climates. The dry, hot, and sandy climate of large parts of Tunisia has produced a robust olive: the Chemlali.


Discover the rich raste and heritage of Chemlali Olive Oil
Chemlali olive oil has a particularly fruity taste with the peppery aftertaste that characterizes a truly good olive oil. Its subtle flavor makes this olive oil suitable for daily use in both hot and cold dishes. With a love for nature, Tunisian olive growers take their time to let their olives grow and ripen. You can taste that in their organically grown olive oil. We, the Yakelos team, want to introduce everyone to this exceptional olive oil. Tunisian olive oil not only has a long history but also a bright future.
