Organic Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Morocco

Atlas Olive Oils, a 4-generation family company with a long-standing tradition in olive oil production since 1887, believes in responsible development that respects the environment and people. This commitment has led the company to produce its olive oil sustainably, creating job opportunities in the impoverished regions of Morocco while respecting and preserving the local culture and land.

The passion for this special terroir, combined with a desire for innovation, has driven Atlas Olive Oils to develop new orchards using the most up-to-date cultivation systems, always with full respect for the environment and people. Improved soil conditions, a careful selection of cultivars, and meticulous tree growth enable the production of high-quality olives.

Atlas Olive Oils' organic extra virgin olive oil is naturally rich in polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol. This is due to the harsh environment of the Moroccan desert, which stresses the olive trees and triggers their survival instinct to produce a significant quantity of antioxidants. The resulting olive oil contains an extraordinary hydroxytyrosol value.

The company's integrated production process ensures full satisfaction. Atlas Olive Oils carefully curates every aspect of its organic olive oil production, from the selection of the right cultivars in an unspoiled environment to the use of mechanical processes and first cold pressing, to deliver a premium organic extra virgin olive oil.

The cultivars used include the bicentenary Picholine du Languedoc (80%), Picholine Marocaine (10%), Menara (2%), Haouzia (2%), Chemlali (2%), and Dahbia (4%), as well as the modern Arbequina (84%) and Arbossana (16%) varieties. The olives are grown in the Marrakech region, covering 245 hectares (605 acres) at an altitude of 390 meters above sea level, with a well-balanced soil composition.

Atlas Olive Oils' production process is meticulously controlled, from the pruning method and tree density to the extraction temperature and yield. The result is an exceptional organic extra virgin olive oil, with a maximum acidity of 0.2% or 0.4%, depending on the orchard.

Praised by Michelin-starred chefs, Atlas Olive Oils represents the culinary excellence of Morocco. The organic extra virgin olive oil offers a delicately complex aroma and flavor profile, making it versatile for various culinary purposes, from salads and meats to baking and desserts.

By choosing Atlas Olive Oils, consumers not only enjoy a premium organic product but also contribute to sustainable development and environmental protection, as the company's commitment to responsible practices extends to every aspect of its operations.
