A history that goes back to the 17th centuryIts in the 17th century that the history of Neffati domain begins in Menzel Bourguiba, called Ferryville under the French protectorate, near Bizerte in the north of Tunisia. For generations, at the rising dawn from November to January, the young members of family Neffati, accompanied by their workers, used to pick the fruits of olive trees in the field in a friendly atmosphere where all the families share the hard word. The pride to take part in the olive harvest in one of the most beautiful domains of the region could be seen on their faces. Adding to that the good humour and joy at the thought of evening events that invariably ended the days of the harvest.
