Olive Leaves
Olive Leaf (Olea europaea) is one of the ancient botanical treasures of the Mediterranean. Its powerful antioxidant properties—primarily attributed to its high oleuropein content—make it a valuable ingredient in both pharmaceutical applications and functional food formulations.
At Tuna Spice, we source olive leaves from the coastal regions of the Aegean and Mediterranean, dry them under hygienic conditions, and sort them by quality before supplying in bulk to international buyers.
