'100% Tunisian' Extra Virgin Olive Oil Comes to Fancy Food Show Booth #5062

An elite group of extra virgin olive oil growers and producers from Tunisia will present the wonders of 100% Tunisian Olive Oil in its pure, unblended form to visitors at the 2009 Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City June 28-30.

Johnson City, TN (PRWEB) June 3, 2009 -- The Tunisian Ministry of Industry and its Packtec sector proudly announces that '100% Tunisian' Olive Oil will be available at this year's Summer 2009 Fancy Food Show in New York City June 28-30 at booth #5062. The exhibition will feature five select growers and producers of '100% Tunisian' olive oil along with other Tunisian agribusiness companies.

Tunisian's extra virgin olive oil is regarded around the world for its extraordinary taste, color and aroma. From this tiny country on Africa's northern coast--just 60 nautical miles from the island of Sicily--the sun, soil and deep-rooted history in the culture and production of olive oil produce a unique mild and fruity oil of exceptional quality.

"Tunisia's olive oil crop has been long revered and much in demand," says show organizer and Packtec representative Lémia Thabet. "We want the world to taste this remarkable oil in its pure state, not mixed with other oils, so they can experience the full taste treat."

Companies exhibiting include Tunisian Olive Oil, Huilerie Loued, CHO/Terra Delyssa, La Vierge, and
Mediterranean Olive Oil.

With its limited production capability, there is always great demand for Tunisian olive oil. Used to soften the harsh taste of inferior oils, Tunisian olive oil has been used as a blending additive for centuries. But as consumer palates become more sophisticated and consumption of olive oil continues to grow, demand for '100% Tunisian' olive oil in its pure, unadulterated state is growing, too.

Not only does Tunisian extra virgin olive oil provide great flavor, but there are numerous studies that demonstrate the significant health benefits from the daily consumption of olive oil. Benefits cited include reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary diseases, inhibiting growth of certain cancers, controlling blood sugar levels, acting as an anti-inflammatory, providing natural antioxidants, and it is a monounsaturated fat that can actually help you lose fat.
