A Taste of Tunisia, Carried Across the Sea

Olive oil pressed from thousand-year-old groves. Dates grown in Saharan oases. Rugs knotted by hand in Kairouan. We source it direct, and bring it to you whole.

Our Story, In Brief

Where the Sahara Meets the Sea

Tunisia sits at a crossroads — Roman ruins beside Saharan dunes, Andalusian tilework beside Mediterranean harbors. For nearly two decades, Authentic Tunisia has traveled that crossroads to find the country’s finest food and craft, and bring it home to American tables and shelves, one direct relationship at a time.

Artisan Work, Made By Hand

Margoum rugs knotted thread by thread in Kairouan workshops. Ceramics thrown and painted in Nabeul, glazed in the same blues you see on the mosque domes. Wire-and-wood birdcages, painted bright, hung in courtyards across the country. We work with the families and cooperatives who keep these crafts alive — and we’re building the wholesale relationships to bring their work to the US.
