Estate of Liquid Gold
Ancient
Heritage.
Modern Mediterranean Excellence.
A Legacy That Predates Empires
From the
birthplace
of civilization.
As early as the 12th century B.C., Carthaginian farmers developed sophisticated agricultural methods and refined olive oil production into one of the ancient world's most valuable trade commodities. Merchant fleets carried this prized "liquid gold" across the Mediterranean.
More than twenty-eight centuries later, that remarkable tradition continues. Carthagene Olivos was founded to reconnect today's global marketplace with this extraordinary heritage — premium oils produced in the very region where generations have cultivated the land for centuries.

The Mediterranean Difference
Tunisia's
terroir is unlike any other.
Producing olives with remarkable concentration, balanced fruitiness, naturally occurring antioxidants, and exceptional aromatic complexity. The Chemlali and Chetoui varieties have earned growing international recognition for producing oils from smooth and buttery to bold, vibrant, and peppery.
Why Carthagene Olivos
The Mediterranean's
best-kept secret.
Tunisian olive oil represents one of the global food market's best-kept secrets, delivering exceptional premium quality at a highly competitive price point. Driven by an ideal, arid Mediterranean climate with over 3,000 hours of annual sunshine, Tunisian olives develop exceptionally high concentrations of health-boosting antioxidants. Native varieties, particularly the robust Chetoui cultivar, consistently produce extra virgin olive oils with polyphenol counts reaching 500–700 mg/kg — nearly doubling the antioxidant content of average mass-produced alternatives.
