The romantic history behind the source of our olive oil is unique. High up in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, where the Romans cultivated vineyards and olive orchards, are three farm with over one million olive trees that have been traditionally maintained to produce an amazing olive oil.. The unique climate of the Atlas Mountains and land gifts the olive oil that remarkable fresh taste: mild summers and winters and hot winds blowing from the Sahara.
The wind blowing between the olive trees whispers the history of this soil from which Greeks and Romans already produced their famous “green gold”.
The three orchards located at the foothills of the Atlas are kissed by mild winters and summers, filtered by hot winds coming from the Sahara and the olives are gilded by an intense sun reigning on the plains of the Atlas mountains. This particular climate and the conditions of the land give our olive oil an unmistakable taste.
With the climate being of optimal condition for the olives to grow, the water used is pure artesian water and turonian acquifere supplied by the snow melting of the Atlas mountains and trapped in a calcareous reef allowing natural water filtration.
Constant monitoring of the cultivation and mechanized picking at an optimal ripeness with only a 20 minutes lapse between harvest and grinding. The olive oil is exclusively extracted through a mechanical process in a low temperature continuous line to get excellent extra virgin olive oil with 0.2% maximum acidity. The distinctiveness of our oil lies also in the attention to detail during every phase of the production process, the selection of a highly skilled workforce and the use of European technology and know-how. All this gives life to a wonderful olive oil you can find only in the best international gourmet stores.
