Organic Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Morocco

Atlas Olive Oils is a 4th generation family company with a rich tradition of olive oil production dating back to 1887. Committed to responsible development that respects the environment and people, the company produces high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) exclusively from its own family-owned organic farms.

Situated in the Marrakech region of Morocco, Atlas Olive Oils' olive groves thrive in a challenging yet special terroir. The harsh desert climate, with scorching summer temperatures reaching 127°F, rocky soil, and limited water availability, causes the olive trees to experience significant stress. This "survival instinct" triggers the trees to produce an abundance of beneficial polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol, resulting in an extraordinary nutritional profile.

The company's sustainable agricultural practices include growing a carefully selected cultivar mix, including Picholine du Languedoc, Picholine Marocaine, Menara, Haouzia, Chemlali, and Dahbia in the traditional orchards, as well as Arbequina and Arbossana in the modern orchards. Through meticulous pruning, optimal tree density, and a focus on soil health, Atlas Olive Oils is able to produce high-quality olives that are then cold-pressed using a two-phase continuous system, ensuring the preservation of the oil's natural flavors and aromas.

The company's commitment to quality and sustainability is reflected in its production. The traditional orchards yield 25,000 liters of EVOO with a maximum acidity of 0.4%, while the modern orchards produce 450,000 liters with a maximum acidity of 0.2%. This premium organic EVOO is available in various bottle sizes, featuring a diverse range of flavor profiles, from the sweet and mild to the well-balanced and seasoning-oriented.

Atlas Olive Oils' products have earned the trust of Michelin-starred chefs and prestigious institutions worldwide, making the company a true ambassador of Morocco's culinary culture. Customers can enjoy the delicate complexity of the oil's aroma, which combines notes of almonds, culinary herbs, sweet bananas, lemons, and basil, as well as the pleasing taste that complements a variety of culinary applications, from salads and meats to baking and desserts.

By prioritizing environmental and social responsibility, Atlas Olive Oils has not only created job opportunities in the impoverished regions of Morocco but also preserved the local culture and land. The company's dedication to sustainable practices and uncompromising quality has earned it a reputation as a leader in the production of exceptional Moroccan olive oil.
