In the mid-quaternary, the oleatser, a wild olive tree with very small flavorsome fruits, grew everywhere on the Tunisian soil. In the 8th C, the Phoenicians grafted it, nurtured it, and pressed its fruit to obtain the oil. Tunisian olive oil, pure and deep rooted, tells the region’s history with a golden fluidity. known to be ingenious and ahead of their time, Phoenicians took the olive fruit as a model to create an earthen jar used to store and later to ship the precious oil. Potters shaping the clay by hand with their wheels, made these jars long and hollow, with handles and a support which made the new recipient manipulation easier.
