Le Petit Paris

Le Petit Paris is the brand of COMOCAP (Société des Conserves Modernes du Cap Bon), founded on 18 May 1961 in Saheb El Jebal, Nabeul governorate, Tunisia, to give the region's abundant farm produce an industrial outlet. The brand is named after Le Petit Paris, an emblematic landmark of the town of Kelibia, as a nod to the quality of Cap Bon produce. The company focuses on double tomato concentrate (28-30%), red chilli harissa and fruit jams. From 40 tonnes a day at its founding, processing capacity has grown to 3,000 tonnes a day of fresh tomatoes and 120 tonnes a day of peppers. Annual output is about 13,000 tonnes of tomato concentrate and 1,500 tonnes of harissa, with 10-15% exported. The range includes tomato paste in 1/2, 4/4 and 5/1 metal cans, harissa in cans from 135 g to 2 kg, and fig, strawberry, apricot and quince jams, as well as ready products such as salade méchouia and chakchouka. COMOCAP relies on strict selection of tomatoes, peppers and fruit, plus a full traceability, analysis and control system. It works to ISO 9001, ISO 22000, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, FSSC 22000 and HACCP standards, and its harissa holds the Tunisian 'Food Quality Label' for superior quality.
