Our story

Five generations of oil makers,
a Tunisian melody

We come from a long line of olive oil people. In our family, the culture of the olive tree is not something you learn: it is passed down to you, like a mother tongue.

Around the table, we have always talked about our oils in notes: notes of cut grass, of almond, of artichoke. Just as in music, every oil plays its own chord. Sika was born from this parallel between notes of flavour and notes of music. On our labels, the olive branch draws a musical staff, and the olives are its notes.

Sika is a Tunisian melody: the song of our land, our sun and our families. We invite you to listen to it… and to taste it.

The range

Three notes, three intensities

All our oils are extra virgin. We classify them by the intensity of their fruitiness, as set out in the standard of the International Olive Council (IOC). The moment of harvest makes all the difference.
