Domaine Aghir
OUR STORY
It is in the heart of the Kairouan country, in a region where several civilizations of the history of the Mediterranean have succeeded that the family domain Domaine Aghir decided to settle to create an olive grove of a whole new kind where tradition meets modernity. And so it was that olive trees from Italy, Greece, Spain and Tunisia were brought together in one place to offer this land the finest selection of olive trees from the Mediterranean region.
But such richness raised a question: how to turn these olives into oils that would preserve intact all the aromas and attributes of the fruits? This is how our story began, a story that combines an obsession with quality and a race against time.
The secret behind our premium quality
Traditionally an extra virgin oil is obtained by crushing olives harvested a few days before. Some very good oil producers say "within 24 hours of harvest". At Domaine Aghir we have succeeded in reducing this duration to 1 hour, thus preventing any oxidation of the fruit and at the same time offering oils of exceptional freshness with extremely low acidity (maximum 0.2 °).
A la carte olive oil
Single-variety or blend? Black fruity or green fruity? Intense or light? By offering a wide range of varieties of olives with different characteristics, we are able to offer you oils that correspond to the specificities and needs of your markets.
