Green Olives – Moulins Mahjoub Organic Meski Olives with Lemon & Fennel
For Mediterranean food lovers seeking authentic flavour and artisan quality, green olives are an essential ingredient, and the Moulins Mahjoub Organic Meski Olives with Lemon & Fennel are an outstanding example of traditional olive craftsmanship from Tunisia. Produced on the Mahjoub family estate in the fertile Medjerda Valley of northern Tunisia, these premium olives are grown organically, harvested by hand, and prepared according to time-honoured methods that preserve their natural integrity, texture and taste.
A Unique Tunisian Olive Variety
The Meski olive is a celebrated Tunisian variety known for its large size, plump flesh and meaty texture. To protect the fruit’s structure and ensure unmatched quality, Moulins Mahjoub uses a rare artisanal technique during debittering: instead of crushing the olives, each one is hand-incised with a small cut to encourage natural fermentation without damaging the flesh. After this process, the olives are slow-cured for nine months, allowing them to develop depth, complexity and balance.
Once cured, the olives are bottled in brine with slices of fresh lemon and wild fennel fronds, giving them a bright, aromatic profile. The result is a beautifully balanced olive — citrusy, herbal and delicately savoury — without additives, chemicals, artificial preservatives or industrial shortcuts. This product is fully organic and reflects the Mahjoub family’s commitment to slow, natural production.
