Soap and olive oil from the city of Sousse, in Tunisia, will soon have their own DOC label. They will be launched as such by MADEL, ''the first public-private partnership ever set up in Tunisia to develop local products,'' [...] ''Sousse has a strong identity. Our Medina (or old Arab quarter) is on the World Heritage list,'' said Hmila. ''Our project is sustainable, because we will conserve local resources. It is inclusive, because 30% of our population is poor, especially the women. Just as there is Dijon mustard, there will be Sousse oil. It's never happened in Tunisia before.'' .
