From Atlas Olive Oils: A Commitment to Sustainable Excellence

Atlas Olive Oils is dedicated to fostering responsible development that honors both the environment and the communities involved. This dedication drives the company to produce olive oil sustainably, thereby creating job opportunities in some of Morocco’s most impoverished regions while preserving the local culture and land. Our enthusiasm for this unique terroir, paired with our innovative spirit, inspires us to cultivate new orchards using the latest farming techniques, all while maintaining a deep respect for both nature and humanity. By focusing on improved soil conditions, carefully selecting cultivars, and ensuring thoughtful tree management, we are able to harvest high-quality olives.

Quality Begins with the Environment

As a fourth-generation family-run company with a rich heritage dating back to 1887, Atlas Olive Oils prides itself on crafting superior organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) exclusively from our family-owned organic farms. Our products have gained the trust of Michelin-starred chefs, exemplifying a pinnacle of Moroccan culinary excellence.

The Unique Influence of the Desert

Our EVOO is naturally rich in polyphenols, especially hydroxytyrosol, due to the challenging conditions in the desert. The extreme heat, rocky terrains, and scarce water resources place stress on the olive trees, prompting a survival mechanism that leads to the production of heightened levels of antioxidants. This results in olive oil that boasts exceptional hydroxytyrosol content.

Integrated Production for Full Satisfaction

Morocco’s distinct and demanding landscape contributes to the exceptional quality of our olive oil. We cultivate olive groves with a commitment to sustainable practices that protect both the environment and the local populace. By choosing the right cultivars that thrive in an untainted environment, we ensure the production of premium olive oil. Our mechanized processes guarantee that our organic EVOO is first cold-pressed, preserving its superior quality.

Atlas Olive Oils sources its olives from ancient bicentennial orchards featuring varieties such as Picholine du Languedoc (80%), Picholine Marocaine (10%), Menara (2%), and others, while modern orchards predominantly consist of Arbequina (84%) and Arbossana (16%). Spanning 245 hectares (605 acres) at an altitude of 390 meters, our olive groves thrive in balanced soil, comprising 30% clay, 35% loamy, and 35% sandy textures.

Crafting Exceptional Olive Oil

With precise pruning techniques and varying tree densities, we yield substantial quantities of premium EVOO: up to 25,000 liters from ancient orchards and 450,000 liters from modern ones, all maintaining low acidity levels. Our harvesting season runs from late September to late December, utilizing a two-phase extraction process at temperatures not exceeding 26°C, resulting in a yield of 11.5% to 15%.
