Argan from Morocco
My Moroccan Grand-Ma Zorah's magic cooking oil Argan Oil has been made for hundreds if not thousands of years by the native inhabitants of Morocco, the Berbers.
These Berbers occupy lands between Marrakesh to the north and just south of Agadir and from the west coast over towards the Algerian borders.
This is where the Argan forest grow. The more dense regions being closer to the low coastal areas and in the mountains south of Marrakesh. Traditional preparation of Argan Oil by Berber women was a very labour intensive affair with low production yields. This made commercial sale of Argan Oil outside of Morocco impossible. Argan Oil co-operatives have now made large scale production this possible. To help Berber communities compete with the foreign owned pressing plants NGOs from Europe began to support the development of Berber women’s cooperatives. Funding was provided for new mechanical presses and dedicated buildings where farmers could bring their Argan produce for processing.
I CHOSE TO SOURCE MY ARGAN OIL directly from the Women Cooperative to help support the very families who discovered Argan oil thousands of years ago, and to make sure I brought to your kitchen the very same flavor and savor my grand-mother Zorah's filled my memories and my heart with from her kitchen.
I feel so good about sourcing my argan oil from the Berber Women. Imagine how purchasing this Argan Oil helps emancipate the women by offering them a real, sustainable living wages and independance.
So here is my grand-ma's mystical and delicious Argan Oil sourced directly from the Berber Women Cooperative of Morocco without a middle man, and 100% NATURAL FROM human heartbeats. So now, you know exactly where it comes from, and the one and only ingredient that is in it.

To make Argan Oil for eating and cooking the nut kernels are toasted before pressing. This gives it a golden colour and unique nutty flavour.
In Morocco it is used for cooking, eating and also as a dietary supplement for its many health benefits
Next the white Argan nut kernels are toasted before the final cold-pressing.
An authentic Culinary Argan Oil prepared for eating, cooking or use as a dietary supplement should have a golden brown colour, toasted nutty aroma and delicious nutty taste.
It is rarely used for high-temperature cooking and frying.
Culinary Argan Oil can be used for medium heat applications such as pan-frying ingredients, frying onions or frying a chicken with spices.
It adds flavour and richness to sweet and savoury dishes.
Use it to create unique nutty salad dressings, sauces, pour on food, such as roasted pepper, before serving or stirred into soups, roasts or Tagines. Use to create sweet sauces, pour on grilled goat cheese with almonds, blend with honey to create a breakfast spread, blend with melted chocolate or cream to create unique ice cream toppings.
In Morocco this oil is most often enjoyed dipping bread into the oil and eating.
If you are allergic to tree nuts, although argan nut is not on the list of the priority allergens, it would be prudent to avoid the use of argan oil
