Inflight Catering · Mellita

Private aviation catering at DJE

The island's food culture is older than its reputation for sun. Djerba's fishermen still work the shallow lagoons off the Ajim shore, landing sea bream, octopus and the small mullet that end up dried and pressed into poutargue — one of the Mediterranean's most underrated pantry staples, and one that travels exceptionally well in a cabin. Inland, the olive groves around Midoun yield oil with a grassy, slightly bitter finish that defines the island's cooking as clearly as any named appellation would. When a departure from DTTJ calls for something that reads as genuinely Tunisian rather than generically Mediterranean, that provenance is where we start. Harissa ground to a chef's specification, preserved lemons from the Houmt Souk market, the island's own date varieties from palms that have been here longer than the airport — these are the specifics we build menus around, not approximations sourced elsewhere and relabelled.

Regional Catering Menu · Mellita

Mellita inflight catering

Djerba's most transferable dish for cabin service is a composed chakchouka built from slow-cooked local tomatoes and peppers, set just enough to hold at altitude and plated in individual portions that work without a full galley. Alongside it, a mezze spread anchored by brik pastry — filled with egg and tuna from the channel, sealed properly for service — gives passengers something identifiably Djerbien rather than a generic North African assortment. For longer sectors, a cold main of octopus braised with preserved lemon and olive oil from the Midoun groves holds temperature and flavour across both legs without any reheating requirement.
