Our Process
The Foundation of Exceptional Flavor
At Ellouze1870, we cultivate exceptional olives, including unique varieties that have thrived in Tunisian soil for centuries. Each variety contributes unique characteristics to our award-winning olive oil collection, creating flavor profiles that reflect both our North African heritage and Mediterranean expertise.
Hand-Picked Olives
Hand-picking is part of Ellouze 1870's meticulous process for crafting premium organic olive oil. This ensures olives are carefully harvested immediately before cold-pressing, contributing to the oil's exceptional quality and freshness as well as protecting the trees for future harvests
Organic Farming
Ellouze 1870's meticulous organic farming strictly avoids all chemicals. This commitment ensures our olives are naturally grown, producing Certified Organic oil through an environmentally conscious process.
Sustainable Cold-Pressing
Our two-phase extraction process separates olive paste into oil and wet pomace without adding water, significantly reducing environmental impact by eliminating polluting vegetation water and conserving water resources. This method ensures a higher polyphenol content in the oil, leading to richer flavour and improved stability

Quality Ingredients
Our range includes two varieties of native Tunisian olives, Chetoui and Chemlali, which produce oils with distinct robust and delicate flavours respectively, allowing for both monovarietal and blended products.

INTENSE
Our best oil for marinating or drizzling over meat dishes
“It is very well balanced with the promised peppery finish ... The oil has a lovely fresh grassy aroma. In the mouth there are flavours of citrus and grass, herbs and a bitter finish. There is a long, warm, pepper aftertaste”
