ORGANIC Argan Oil

Our Organic Argan Oil is extracted from the aromatic nuts of a tree native to Morocco. The 100% organic nuts are traditionally cracked by hand by Berber women and after roasting are cold pressed into argan oil using small spindle presses - the liquid gold of Morocco. As a nutritional supplement, roasted argan oil is characterised by its high content of unsaturated fatty acids. It is also a valuable source of vitamin E.

Traditionally from Morocco

The distinctive argan tree now only grows on 820,000 hectares in south-west Morocco. This area was declared a biosphere reserve in 1998. The argan nut produces a golden-yellow, intensely nutty and tangy oil that is used both as a fine edible oil and as a premium ingredient in natural cosmetics. It is rightly called the "liquid gold of Morocco". The collection and processing of argan nuts is traditionally a women's job in Morocco.

At Ölmühle Solling, we are committed to preserving traditional cultivation and artisanal oil production. That is why our high-quality organic virgin argan oil comes from a small factory near Agadir, which in turn works with women's cooperatives in Essaouira and Ait Baamrame/Sidi Ifni. This creates much-needed local jobs.
