Organic Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Morocco, Trusted by Michelin Star Chefs

Atlas Olive Oils, a 4-generation family company with an ancient 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 very poor regions of Morocco, respecting and preserving the culture and the land.

The company's passion for the special Moroccan terroir, combined with a desire for innovation, has led them to develop new orchards using the most up-to-date cultivation systems while fully respecting the environment and people. Improved soil conditions, attentive cultivar selection, and careful tree growth enable Atlas Olive Oils to produce high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Naturally rich in polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol, the EVOO from Atlas is a result of the olive trees' stress response to the harsh desert environment. The extreme conditions, including summer temperatures of 127°F, rocky soil, and lack of water, cause the trees to produce a higher quantity of antioxidants to survive, resulting in an extraordinary hydroxytyrosol content in the final product.

Atlas Olive Oils has carefully approached all aspects of its organic EVOO production process by adopting sustainable procedures. The company's organic EVOO is made from a blend of old bicentenary and modern orchards, featuring cultivars such as Picholine du Languedoc, Picholine Marocaine, Arbequina, and Arbossana. Grown in the Marrakech region at an altitude of 390 meters, the olives are harvested from late September to late December and cold-pressed at a maximum temperature of 26°C using a 2-phase continuous system.

The resulting EVOO is of superior quality, with a delicate and complex aroma of almonds, culinary herbs, sweet bananas, lemons, and basil. The taste is equally pleasing, with notes of culinary herbs, cucumber, and apple. Versatile and well-balanced, Atlas Organic EVOO can be used for various culinary purposes, from salads and meat to baking and desserts.

Atlas Olive Oils' commitment to sustainability and quality has earned the trust of Michelin-starred chefs, exclusive restaurants, luxury hotels, and prestigious gourmet stores around the world. By choosing Atlas, consumers not only enjoy a premium organic EVOO but also contribute to the responsible development and preservation of the Moroccan environment and people.
