The Terroir

Thuburbo Majus

In the heart of Tunisia, the ancient lands of Thuburbo Majus shelter our centuries-old olive groves. This Roman city, founded over two millennia ago, offers a unique terroir where mineral-rich clay soils and Mediterranean climate create perfect conditions for cultivating olives of exceptional quality. Each CARTAEA bottle captures the essence of this sacred heritage.

The Variety

Chetoui Olives

The Chetoui variety, endemic to Tunisia, has been cultivated for generations on our lands. These hand-harvested olives, picked at optimal ripeness, offer a unique aromatic profile: notes of green almond, fresh artichoke, and a delicate peppery finish. Their naturally low acidity makes this one of the purest olive oils in the world.

THE PHILOSOPHY

GUIDED BY NATURE.SHAPED BY TIME.

We don't chase trends.
We honor traditions.

CARTAEA is more than olive oil. It is a covenant between the land that gives and the hands that receive. Each bottle carries within it the spirit of Thuburbo Majus — where emperors once walked and sacred rituals were performed with the golden elixir.

The Process

Cold Pressed

Our extraction process honors millennia-old traditions while integrating modern quality standards. Each olive is cold-pressed within 6 hours of harvest, preserving natural polyphenols, antioxidants, and aromatic complexity. This method guarantees extra virgin olive oil of incomparable purity and freshness.

The Heritage

Ancestral Craft

CARTAEA perpetuates craftsmanship passed down through generations. The women of Thuburbo Majus, heirs to ancestral gestures, oversee every production stage. This premium olive oil is not merely a product — it is the expression of a culture, a territory, and a commitment to excellence dating back to Carthaginian times.
