Olive Kernel

Olive Kernel – Bulk Supply for Oil, Nutraceutical & Industrial Applications

Product Overview

Olive Kernel (Olea europaea), known as Zeytin Çekirdeği, is a valuable by-product of the olive fruit, widely recognized for its oil yield, antioxidant compounds, and sustainable applications. Rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, polyphenols, and dietary fiber, olive kernels are primarily processed into olive kernel oil, which is used in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and specialty food formulations. Beyond oil production, olive kernels are also utilized in animal feed, biomass energy, and eco-friendly applications, making them a versatile and sustainable raw material.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply premium olive kernels sourced from carefully processed olives and handled under the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. Available in whole, crushed, powdered, and oil-ready forms, our olive kernels meet the requirements of oil producers, supplement brands, cosmetic manufacturers, and eco-industrial buyers worldwide.
