Netherlands · Tunisia · The World

The olive oil the world
can't find in stores.

Tunisia is the world's largest organic olive oil exporter. Most of it disappears into bulk shipments and supermarket blends — never seen by name. OlieTerra changes that.

We connect producers directly to buyers, with full supply-chain traceability. Every bottle tells you exactly where it came from, who pressed it, and when it was harvested.

Why Tunisia

Ancient groves.
Uncommon oil.

Tunisian olive trees are some of the oldest in the Mediterranean — many are hundreds of years old, rooted in the same soil that produced olive oil for Carthage. The Chemlali and Chetoui varieties are native, nowhere else on earth.

The climate is ideal: hot, dry summers and cool winters create the stress that concentrates polyphenols and creates that characteristic mild, fruity, slightly spicy profile. Cold-pressed from hand-picked olives. No blends. No shortcuts.

The OlieTerra Difference

Every drop is on record.

Traditional olive oil supply chains are opaque. By the time a bottle reaches a shelf, nobody knows which grove, which press, which harvest. OlieTerra changes that by treating IT infrastructure as a core business cost — not an afterthought.

  • Producer profiles — Farm location, olive varieties, farming practices, certifications. Verified before listing.
  • Harvest records — Date of pick, pressing method, extraction temperature, batch lab results.
  • Supply chain log — Processing, storage, transit, customs clearance. All timestamped.
  • Digital certificates — Organic, origin, quality grading. Immutable and shareable.

The Netherlands parent company serves as the legal and operational hub — ensuring EU compliance, transparent contracts, and buyer confidence worldwide.

The Varieties

Two olives. Two worlds of flavor.

Chemlali

Northern Tunisia

Mild, fruity, buttery. Low bitterness, smooth finish. Perfect for daily cooking, salads, and bread dipping. The workhorse of Tunisian olive oil — and its most misunderstood.

Early harvest Hand-picked Cold-pressed

Chetoui

Northwest Tunisia

Complex, grassy, distinctly spicy. Notes of artichoke, almond, and green tomato. High in polyphenols. The connoisseur's choice — used by Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe.

From the grove that grew it
to the table that needs it.

No middlemen. No blending. No guesswork. OlieTerra is built for producers who care about quality and buyers who care about where their food comes from.

The Netherlands is our home base — legal, financial, and operational. Tunisia is where the oil comes from. The world is where it belongs.
