TUNISIAN OLIVE FIREWOODS
✅ Overview
Tunisian Olive Firewood is a high-quality hardwood fuel sourced from sustainably managed olive groves in Tunisia. This firewood is derived from pruned branches and aged, no-longer-fruit-bearing olive trees, making it an eco-conscious choice that supports responsible land management.
With an exceptionally high density and low moisture content, olive wood burns longer and hotter than many other hardwoods, delivering consistent heat over extended periods. Its rich, aromatic smoke adds a subtle, savory flavor to grilled foods, making it especially popular among barbecue enthusiasts and chefs who cook with wood-fired ovens.
This wood is prized across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa for both residential and commercial use. Whether you're heating a home, running a pizzeria, or smoking meat, Tunisian Olive Firewood offers a unique combination of performance, efficiency, and character.
| Attribute | Performance & Description |
|---|---|
| 🔥 Heat Output | Very High – Olive is one of the densest hardwoods, producing intense, steady heat ideal for long, warm fires or commercial ovens. |
| ⏳ Burn Duration | Long-Lasting – Due to its compact fiber structure, olive wood burns slowly and evenly, reducing the need for frequent reloading. |
| 💨 Smoke Production | Low Smoke – When well-seasoned (moisture <20%), olive firewood emits minimal smoke, making it safe for both indoor and outdoor use. |
| ⚪ Ash Residue | Very Low – Leaves behind a fine, light ash, making cleanup easy and minimizing waste in cooking environments. |
| 🔥 Coal Bed Formation | Excellent – Forms a hot, stable coal base, perfect for pizza ovens, bakeries, or overnight heating. |
| 👃 Aroma | Pleasant, Aromatic – Produces a mild, sweet, and earthy scent that enhances the flavor of grilled meats, vegetables, and bread. |
