Atlas Olive Oils: Commitment to Sustainable Quality

Atlas Olive Oils champions the principles of responsible development, prioritizing respect for both the environment and communities. This dedication drives our sustainable production practices, which not only enhance the quality of our olive oil but also provide job opportunities in impoverished regions of Morocco. We are committed to honoring the local culture and preserving the land by developing innovative orchards through modern cultivation systems that fully respect both nature and humanity.

By focusing on improved soil conditions, carefully selecting cultivars, and nurturing tree growth, Atlas Olive Oils is proud to produce olives of superior quality. As a four-generation family business with a rich heritage in olive oil production since 1887, we source our organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) exclusively from our own organic family farms. Esteemed Michelin-starred chefs trust our products, positioning us as a hallmark of Moroccan culinary excellence.

Hydroxytyrosol and the Desert’s Gifts

Our olive oil stands out for its concentration of polyphenols, especially hydroxytyrosol. Olive trees grown in the harsh conditions of the Moroccan desert—where summer temperatures can soar to 127°F, soil is rocky, and water is scarce—undergo significant stress, triggering a survival response that encourages the production of high levels of polyphenols. This results in oil that boasts a remarkable hydroxytyrosol content, rich in antioxidants.

Towards Integrated Production

The geography of Morocco, while challenging, contributes uniquely to producing our oil. Our sustainable approach underscores our commitment to environmental and social responsibility. By planting olive groves in unspoiled areas, cultivating appropriate varietals, and implementing mechanized processes with cold pressing, we ensure that our premium organic EVOO is both eco-friendly and high-quality.

Our Olive Oil’s Distinctive Characteristics

At Atlas, we carefully manage every aspect of our organic olive oil making, adhering strictly to sustainable practices. When you choose Atlas, you're not only selecting premium organic olive oil but also contributing positively to the environment.

Atlas Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from an assortment of cultivars. In our historic bicentenary orchards, old varieties such as Picholine du Languedoc and Picholine Marocaine comprise the majority, while our modern orchards focus on Arbequina and Arbossana. We span a production area of 245 hectares (605 acres) in the Marrakech region, benefitting from a favorable altitude of 390 meters above sea level and well-balanced soil compositions.

Harvesting and Production Details

Harvest season runs from late September to late December, ensuring we capture the olives at their peak. Our extraction processes employ first cold-pressing at a maximum temperature of 26°C, preserving the oil’s flavor and nutritional profile. The yield varies, providing an impressive 450,000 liters from our modern orchards, with an acidity level as low as 0.2% for our extra virgin oils.

Culinary Versatility and Flavor Profiles

Our olive oils are versatile, perfect for a variety of culinary applications—from salads to meats and seafood. Each variety presents a unique aroma and flavor profile, from sweet and mild to intricately herbaceous. Notably, ten Michelin-starred restaurants incorporate our oils into their exquisite dishes, a testament to their quality and flavor.
