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

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

The brand's passion for the unique terroir, combined with a desire for innovation, has driven the development of new orchards using the latest cultivation systems that fully respect the environment and people. Improved soil conditions, a meticulous cultivar selection, and careful tree growth have enabled Atlas Olive Oils to produce high-quality olives.

Naturally rich in polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol, the brand's EVOO is the result of the olive trees' stress response to the harsh desert environment. The extreme conditions, including scorching summer temperatures, rocky soil, and limited water availability, trigger the trees to produce a high quantity of antioxidants to survive, resulting in an exceptional hydroxytyrosol content.

Atlas Olive Oils has carefully managed all aspects of its organic EVOO production process, adopting sustainable practices to ensure the highest quality and environmental responsibility. The company's olive groves span 245 hectares (605 acres) in the Marrakech region, with a mix of bicentenary and modern orchards featuring various cultivars, including Picholine du Languedoc, Picholine Marocaine, Arbequina, and Arbossana.

The olives are harvested from late September to late December and undergo a first cold-pressed extraction process, with a maximum temperature of 26°C, using a two-phase continuous system. This meticulous process results in an EVOO with a maximum acidity of 0.2% to 0.4%, depending on the orchard.

Atlas Olive Oils' EVOO product line, including the flagship Atlas, Les Terroirs de Marrakech, Desert Miracle, and the Atlas Natural Spray, offers a range of unique flavor profiles, from sweet and mild to seasoned and well-balanced. These versatile oils are suitable for various culinary applications, including frying, baking, and dressings.

Recognized by 10 Michelin-starred restaurants, Atlas Olive Oils has earned the trust of renowned chefs and prestigious institutions worldwide, thanks to its commitment to quality, sustainability, and the exceptional characteristics of its organic EVOO.
