Organic Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Morocco's Single Family Farm

Atlas Olive Oils, a 4 Generations Family Company, has been dedicated to producing high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) since 1887. This commitment to quality and sustainability is rooted in the company's respect for the environment and people.

The harsh environment of the Moroccan desert, with its scorching summer temperatures, rocky soil, and limited water resources, is the backdrop for Atlas Olive Oils' production. Paradoxically, these challenging conditions lead the olive trees to produce an abundance of polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol, as a survival mechanism. This results in an extraordinary antioxidant profile in the resulting EVOO.

Atlas Olive Oils has carefully curated its production process to ensure the highest standards of organic, sustainable, and ethical practices. The company's olive groves are located in the Marrakech region, spanning 245 hectares (605 acres) at an altitude of 390 meters above sea level. The soil composition is a well-balanced mixture of clay, muddy/loamy, and sandy elements.

Depending on the orchard, the olive trees are pruned either into cups or hedges, with varying tree densities. The older bicentenary orchard produces 25,000 liters of EVOO with a maximum acidity of 0.4°, while the modern orchard yields 450,000 liters with a maximum acidity of 0.2°. Harvesting takes place from late September to late December, and the olives are cold-pressed at a maximum temperature of 26°C using a two-phase continuous system.

The resulting EVOO from Atlas Olive Oils is renowned for its exceptional quality and diverse flavour profiles. The "Atlas" variety exhibits aromas of red tomato, ripe banana, and apple, with a taste of culinary herbs, cucumber, and apple. The "Les Terroirs de Marrakech" showcases notes of greenery, cut grass, and apples, with a taste of hedge clippings and almonds. The "Desert Miracle" offers a sweet and delicate style, with aromas of almonds, basil, and sweet banana, and a taste of artichoke and hazelnut chocolate.

These premium organic EVOOs are trusted by Michelin-starred chefs and are used in exclusive restaurants, luxury hotels, and prestigious gourmet stores around the world. The combination of exceptional organoleptic characteristics, chemical-physical qualities, and sustainable production has made Atlas Olive Oils a true ambassador of Moroccan culinary culture.

Whether used for general cooking, baking, or as a dipping oil, Atlas Olive Oils' products deliver a delicately complex and versatile experience, while also contributing to the responsible development of the region and the preservation of the environment.
