Born in Tunisia. Brought to the UAE.
In Tunisia, olive oil isn’t something you pick off a shelf. It’s the first thing on the breakfast table and the last thing poured over dinner. It is pressed every winter by families who have tended the same groves for generations, and it is the gift you carry when you visit someone you love.
Zaytoona (زيتونة, “the olive”) was created to bring that table to the UAE. Founded by a Tunisian brother and sister who made Dubai their home, it began with a simple wish: that families here could taste what real extra virgin olive oil should be. Fresh, fruity, gently peppery, and honest about where it comes from.
From the groves of Kairouan
Our oil comes from olive groves around Kairouan, in the heart of Tunisia, where old trees grow slowly in dry, sun-soaked soil. The olives are hand-picked and cold pressed within hours of harvest: never heated, never blended, never refined. The oil is bottled at the source by Solivera, an ISO 9001 certified family producer we work with directly, and its acidity is below 0.8%.
Why Tunisia
Olive trees have been cultivated in Tunisia since the Phoenicians founded Carthage, nearly 3,000 years ago, and in Roman times the region was one of the great olive oil suppliers of the Mediterranean. Today Tunisia is one of the world’s largest olive oil producers. In 2026, Tunisian olive oils ranked No. 1 at the US International Olive Oil Competition in Miami and won 49 gold medals at the European International Olive Oil Competition in Geneva.
