Culinary Argan Oil

Culinary Argan Oil is produced exclusively by Berber women in a small region on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains — a UNESCO World Heritage site.The oil-rich kernels are extracted by hand from the hard nuts of the argan fruit and then lightly toasted—a crucial step that gives the oil its unique, nutty taste, aroma, and rich golden color. The kernels are then cold-pressed to extract the pure oil.Recent shortages due to four years of drought have made the argan fruit even more precious. This has lead to a significant increase in oil prices. Despite this, these dedicated women continue to grow and harvest the fruits, ensuring this valuable oil remains available for you to enjoy.
