Description
Thousands of years ago, when the sun-drenched shores of the
Mediterranean which were to become Tunisia
were called Carthage and dominated the Mediterranean basin, the
local olive oil already enjoyed a reputation
for excellence among all the civilizations of that time.
The quality and value of this same oil have stood the test of time
and today are recognized by gourmets the
world over.
This excellence is the fruit of a perfect combination of factors.
Indeed, not only is Tunisia blessed with unique
soils ideal for growing some of the very finest olive varieties,
intense sunshine and one of the most favorable
climates in the world, but also and above all, a traditional
know-how scrupulously handed down from
generation to generation.
CARTHAGE olive oil is all this… and more.
For CARTHAGE is not simply a brand. Rather, it is a select label
which brings together four of Tunisias major
olive oil producers, four great names: BARKA, HIKMA, BEN YEDDER and
RUSPINA.
The Carthage Olive Oil alliance enables the four partners to offer,
in addition to their respective proven
expertise in olive growing and premium olive oil production, a
selection of soils and vintages rarely found under
a single brand name. But it is also the intricate art of creating
blends to perfectly match the varying culinary
tastes and habits of consumers around the world. And of course,
CARTHAGE also offers an organic olive oil
which combines superior taste and environmental concerns.
CARTHAGE olive oil definitely deserves its prestigious title of
Gold of Tunisia !
