Description
This stamp pays tribute to olive oil (Olea europaea), the true “yellow gold” of Tunisia and an age-old symbol of its belonging to Mediterranean civilization. The visual combines an olive branch loaded with black fruits with a glass cruet filled with clear oil, with a majestic century-old olive tree in the background. This program celebrates the Carthaginian and Roman heritage of olive growing, a major pillar of national exports and a profound marker of Tunisian identity, representing both peace, sustainability and the richness of the olive-growing heritage which extends from the Sahel to the plains of Sfax.
