An Exceptional Terroir
If you travel through the Dar Allouche region during the summer, one color dominates the landscape: the vibrant red of tomatoes ripening under the generous Cap Bon sun. It is no coincidence that Dar Allouche is nicknamed the cradle of “red gold.”
Why Dar Allouche?
The fertility of the land in Dar Allouche is legendary. The perfect marriage between rich soil, a Mediterranean climate tempered by the sea breeze, and ancestral farming expertise results in tomatoes of exceptional quality. They are renowned for their firm flesh, sweet taste, and intense color.
From Field to Table
Agriculture in Dar Allouche is not limited to harvesting. The town is also a nerve center for processing. Local companies, such as SOCODAL, are flagships of the canning industry, transforming fresh tomatoes from surrounding fields into tomato paste and harissa, which are exported worldwide.

- A Taste of Authenticity: We recommend trying local tomatoes bought directly from farmers’ stalls along the roads.
