Tunisia Leaves Lasting Impression in New York

For a small country, Tunisia showed up in a big way in the Big Apple at the Summer Fancy Food Show. Growers from all over Tunisia--north to south--converged at the Javits Center to be part of the Tunisian Pavilion featuring 100% Tunisian olive oil.

Companies present included:
1. Medagro/Ruspina www.ruspina.com.tn
2. Slama Huiles/Barka www.barka.com.tn
3. Huilnord/Virginia www.huilnord.com
4. Huilerie Loued/Rivière d’Or www.huilerie–loued.com
5. Carthage Olive Oil Group www.medoliveoil.com.tn
6. Topoliva/La Medina Djerba www.topoliva.com.tn
7. La Rose Blanche www.rose-blanche.com
8. SOTRAPA Olives

In addition to my Packtec associates Hager Ben Mami and Houda Mabrouki, we (and everyone who visited the Tunisian Pavilion) were treated to the culinary artistry of Chef Rafik Tlatli who performed hi magic with 100% Tunisian Olive Oil.



Our campaign to promote Tunisian olive oil will look to a new phase starting this fall. Retailers and distributors are now getting product on the shelves, so we'll turn our attention toward helping consumers discover the wonders of pure, unblended olive oil from Tunisia through advertising, in-store tastings and more.

If you missed us in New York, plan to visit us in San Francisco in January 2011 at the Winter Fancy Food Show as we continue to share our love of Tunisia and its remarkable products with the world.
