The award-winning EVOO: Baghlia, Chemlali olive variety.
At the company, the recurring motto is “In the pursuit of excellence”. Huilerie Kiared is a family business always in the search of excellence. Now in its third generation, it is actively engaged in producing olive oil of superior quality. The new company Etablissement Kiared was founded in 1997, by Kiared Rabah and Kiared Mohamed (father and son) and their know-how is based on a long first-hand experience of cultivating olive fields and producing EVOO. The company’s courageous olive trees grow on impervious rocky terrain, earning themselves the nickname “mountainous olive trees”.
This year a fitting capstone to a thriving production, Etablissement Kiared received a certificate of honour from His Excellency Abdul Majeed Taboun, President of the Republic of Algeria. In addition to being the most award-winning company in Algeria, thanks to the more than 35 awards it has received, SARL Etablissement Kiared, also asserted itself in the eighth edition of the EVO IOOC Italy, proud of the trophy it has obtained, the Best of Algeria 2023, a category in which it is the reigning champion, as well as being the best Algerian Extra Virgin Olive Oil to beat in 2024.
