Because we only produce olive oil in Tunisia and actually import other types of oil. It does not make sense economically to mix it with something that's not cheaper.

There is also nothing preventing intermediate distributors outside Tunisia from blending and repackaging that oil with cheaper oils. Or from such scoundrels from outright lying about the country of origin.
No one has come up with an unbreakable or unforgeable supply chain for these goods, which is why counterfeiting is still such a problem.
