Pressed by one familysince 2000.
Organic extra virgin olive oil, cold-extracted in Sidi Ali Ben Aoun, in the heart of Sidi Bouzid’s olive groves.
A family olive mill
In 2000, Mohamed Ben Elfalah opened his olive mill in Sidi Ali Ben Aoun, on the road to Gafsa. Today his sons carry on his work by the same rule: respect the fruit, and the people who grow it.
Our olives come from growers in the region whom we see season after season. The family’s know-how now runs on a modern extraction line, for a pure oil that stays true to its land.

From the trailer
to the tank
Six steps on a modern continuous line. Everything is done mechanically, cold, with no additives.
-
Intake and weighing
Every load is weighed on arrival and gets its own ticket: your batch keeps its identity until the oil comes out.
-
Leaf removal and washing
Leaves, twigs and dust are removed, then the olives are washed in clean water.
-
Crushing and malaxing
The olives are crushed into a paste, then slowly malaxed in stainless steel tanks, below 27 °C.
-
Extraction
The Pieralisi Jumbo 2 decanter separates the oil from the paste by centrifugation, without heating.
-
Separation
A vertical separator removes the water and the last bits of pulp.
-
New oil
Green and lively, the oil goes back to the grower or into stainless steel tanks, away from air and light.
Extra virgin,
and nothing else
Organic extra virgin olive oil from local olives, obtained by mechanical means only. Enjoy it raw or in your cooking.
