History

The Numidia brand was launched in 2008^[1] by Huileries Ouzellaguen, a subsidiary of the Ifri company.^[2] The oil is obtained through cold extraction by centrifugation using olives from the Soummam Valley in Kabylia, near the production site of the Ifri mineral water. The production site covers approximately 550 hectares, with nearly 100 hectares dedicated to semi-intensive cultivation.^[3]

Since 2019, Numidia olive oil has been available in France, and the brand has announced plans to expand to Spain and Belgium.^[4]

In 2017, the Huileries Ouzellaguen exported 15,000 liters of Numidia olive oil to Europe and Asia.^[5]
