Chemlali vs Chetoui: Sourcing the Right Tunisian Olive Oil Variety
Tunisia boasts two primary native olive varieties that account for over 90% of the national olive forest:
- **Chemlali (الوسط والجنوب)**: Dominates Sfax, Sahel, and southern regions. Produces a golden, balanced, fruity oil with subtle almond notes, perfect for international blending.
- **Chetoui (الشمال)**: Grown in northern valleys. Renowned for its intense green color, robust herbal aroma, and exceptionally high polyphenol count (antioxidants).
