Organic Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Morocco

Atlas Olive Oils, a 4-generation family company with a rich olive oil tradition dating back to 1887, is committed to responsible development that respects the environment and people. This commitment has resulted in the creation of job opportunities in the impoverished regions of Morocco, while preserving the local culture and land.

The company's passion for the special terroir, combined with a desire for innovation, has led to the development of 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 attentive tree growth enable Atlas Olive Oils to produce high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Naturally rich in polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol, the Atlas EVOO is a result of the olive trees' adaptation to the harsh desert environment of Morocco (with summer temperatures reaching 127°F, rocky soil, and scarce water). This "survival instinct" causes the trees to produce a remarkable amount of antioxidants, resulting in an extraordinary hydroxytyrosol content in the oil.

Atlas Olive Oils has carefully approached all aspects of its organic EVOO production process, adopting sustainable procedures to ensure the highest quality and environmental responsibility. The company's organic olive groves feature a blend of old bicentenary and modern orchards, with a variety of cultivars including Picholine, Arbequina, and Arbossana.

Produced in the Marrakech region at an altitude of 390 meters, Atlas EVOO undergoes a first cold-pressing extraction method, with a yield of 11.5% to 15%. The resulting oil is of superior quality, with a delicate aroma of almonds, culinary herbs, and a mix of sweet fruits, and a taste profile that is versatile for various culinary uses, from general cooking to baking and desserts.

Atlas Olive Oils' commitment to excellence has earned the trust of Michelin-starred chefs and prestigious institutions. The company's organic EVOO is free from added chemicals and destructive ingredients, making it a safe and healthy choice for discerning consumers.

In addition to the flagship Atlas brand, the company offers a range of other organic EVOO products, including Les Terroirs de Marrakech, Desert Miracle, and the Atlas Natural Spray, each with its own distinct characteristics and culinary applications.

By prioritizing sustainable practices, preserving local culture, and producing exceptional quality EVOO, Atlas Olive Oils embodies the excellence of Moroccan culinary culture, setting a high standard for the industry.
