AMLOU

THE GOLD LIQUID IN MOROCCO : ARGANE OIL




The oil which is famous for having retroactive effects, has become one of the latest miracle ingredients in the beauty industry.




Argane tree produces the most unique edible oil in the world and it's renowned for its anti cancer properties.





Amlou is a chunky paste which some people have compared to tahini or peanut butter. It is made with argan oil, almonds or peanuts, and sometimes honey or sugar.




In Essaouira, a very labor intensive process, performed primarily by Moroccan women, is required to shell and crush the fruits prior to pressing the Argane oil.

  4. I am sure that at some point someone will hand a machine to these women and get the job done a lot faster and easier and pretty soon Argane oil will become the next "olive oil", and everybody will want to buy it , at any price!
