Carthagène Olive Oil: The Global Ascent of a Tunisian Excellence Icon

In the world of fine gastronomy, few products manage to weave together ancient heritage and modern innovation as seamlessly as Carthagène Olive Oil. Produced by AlRajhi-ElFerjani Food Industries, this brand has emerged as a standard-bearer for the Tunisian terroir. From the fertile lands surrounding the historic city of Carthage to the most prestigious tasting tables in the world, Carthagène is a story of purity, passion, and repeated victory.

A Millennium of Tradition Meets Modern Mastery

Carthagène is not just an olive oil; it is an inheritance. By combining ancestral harvesting wisdom with state-of-the-art extraction technology, the brand ensures an Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) of exceptional quality. Each bottle captures the essence of the Mediterranean, offering fruity aromas and a sensory profile that has consistently captivated international juries.

2025: A Landmark Year of Golden Achievements

The year 2025 has solidified Carthagène’s status as a global leader. The brand achieved a historic "Golden Sweep" across several continents, proving its universal appeal:

• Europe: Gold Medals were secured at the Berlin GOOA (Germany), the EIOOC in Geneva (Switzerland), and the Istanbul IOOC.

• The Middle East: A double triumph in the UAE, with Gold Medals at both the Dubai OOC and the prestigious Afro-Asian International Competition in Abu Dhabi.

  

• Scandinavia: In a remarkable feat, the Sweden IOOC awarded Carthagène the Gold Medal in the Health Category, alongside a Silver for quality, highlighting the oil’s superior nutritional and antioxidant properties.

A Legacy of Excellence: From New York to Tokyo

This recent success is the peak of a steady climb toward perfection. Carthagène first made waves on the international scene in 2020, earning Silver Medals in highly competitive arenas like New York (NYIOOC), London, and Japan.

By 2021, the brand reached a turning point, winning the prestigious Gold Medal at the Mario Solinas competition in Spain—often cited as the highest honor in the olive oil industry. This momentum continued through 2022, where the brand dominated with multiple Gold Medals in London, Italy (EVO IOOC), Japan (Olive Japan), and Greece (Athena IOOC).

The Pride of Tunisia

While its success is global, Carthagène remains deeply rooted in its homeland. It is a frequent winner at the Tunisian Local Products Competition and has been recognized by the National Oil Office (ONH) as one of the country’s finest exports. With its Néapolis Organic line, the company also demonstrates a commitment to sustainable, organic farming without compromising the sophisticated flavor profile that defines the brand.

Today, Carthagène Olive Oil stands as more than a condiment; it is an award-winning ambassador of Tunisian excellence, recognized worldwide for its purity, its health benefits, and its unmatched taste.
