Extraordinary Taste: The Journey of the Just-Pressed
At Olie De Carthage, we believe that extraordinary taste is not a luxury, but a standard. It is a vibrant, living profile that can only be captured at the source, at the perfect moment. Our unwavering commitment is to this moment of peak perfection. We do not simply import olive oil; we are dedicated to the continuous import of the extraordinary—a just-pressed, certified organic olive oil, delivered directly from the sun-drenched groves of Carthage to your table.
The Essence of “Just-Pressed”
The term “just-pressed” is at the heart of our mission. While many oils travel long distances and sit in storage, losing their vitality with each passing week, our process is built on speed and precision. We work directly with local growers to cold-press the finest organic olives within hours of harvest. This immediate action captures the oil in its most potent state—a state where the natural antioxidants are at their peak, and the complex flavors are at their most vibrant. The distinctive peppery sensation at the back of your throat is not just a characteristic; it is the unmistakable signature of an oil that is alive with freshness.
A Commitment to Constant Freshness
Our promise is to “always import” this quality. This is a pledge of consistency and reliability. It means our supply chain is a meticulously managed lifeline, ensuring that the oil in your bottle is as close as possible to the day it was pressed. We bypass the traditional, slow-moving distribution channels, opting instead for direct importation that protects the oil’s integrity from the mill to your doorstep. We guard it against heat, light, and oxygen—the enemies of freshness—using dark glass bottles and careful handling every step of the way.
Taste the Difference of the Extraordinary
When you choose Olie De Carthage, you are experiencing more than an ingredient. You are tasting the very essence of the Tunisian terroir—the soil, the climate, the olive variety—all preserved in a single, golden extract. You will discover:
-
Aroma: An explosive bouquet of fresh-cut grass, green tomato, and artichoke.
-
Flavor: A robust, fruity complexity with layers of green almond and a hint of wild herbs.
-
Sensation: The clean, pungent kick that is the hallmark of high-polyphenol, fresh oil.
This is the extraordinary taste we are passionate about sharing. It is a taste that transforms a simple meal into a gourmet experience and elevates everyday cooking into a celebration of pure, unadulterated flavor.
