About this deal

The best way to understand the many different types of olive oil available in Morocco is to understand what types of olives are used to produce the oils. Some of the most common varieties of Moroccan olives used to make olive oil include: Olive oil is one of the richest plant sources of MUFAs, and consuming it can help you meet your needs of this type of fat. MUFAs are especially beneficial for heart health and may help reduce your risk of heart disease ( 4).

The benign climate makes Morocco a ‘Garden Of Eden’ on the doorstep of Europe and the ideal location for olive cultivation with mild winters and warm, dry summers. The soils in the main olive-growing regions are rich and deep, and generally have an equal balance of clay and coarse sands. A big part of their goal is to offer Moroccan olive oil that is marketed as such. In contrast, many companies relabel Moroccan olive oil when selling it or mix it with other oils. Moroccan Olive Grove is working to rectify that and restore the country’s reputation as an olive oil producer. Morocco is now being recognised as a leading producer of some of the finest quality extra virgin olive oils – like Morocco Gold. Olive growing provides more than 51 million working days every year, which equates to 380,000 jobs. Twenty percent of these jobs are held by women. 7. Olive oil can be a beauty treatment, too.At Morocco Gold, we know that extra virgin olive oil has a long history in the ‘traditional’ Olive Oil producing countries of Spain, Greece and Italy. But did you know that Morocco has been producing high quality olive oil for millennia, from the time of the Romans? Our olives are grown in a valley that is about 2,000 feet above sea level. This helps to create the additional climatic challenges that encourage polyphenol uptake within the olive tree. It is also an area with naturally occurring high phenols in the soil itself.

It helps calcium absorption, thereby playing an important part during the period of growth and in the prevention of osteoporosis. Can displace healthy foods. Although olive oil is a healthy fat source, it’s not as nutritious as whole foods. Drinking too much may displace healthier foods, such as other healthy fats, vegetables, and proteins.

Pungent: giving a distinctive peppery sensation in the mouth and throat. This is a sign of abundant nutrients in good, fresh extra virgin olive oil. Morocco Gold sets a new standard for authenticity, provenance, and the guarantee of extra virgin quality through our rigorous testing and traceability regimes. We work with certified growers, Morocco Gold is tested locally by ONSSA, (the National Office for the Sanitary Protection of Food Products in Morocco), then re-tested by our EU certified laboratory to guarantee extra virgin quality. As production has increased, so has the quality. In 2020, Morocco won three awards at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. This was exciting news for Morocco’s olive-producing community – they won just one award in 2019 and none in 2018. I must admit, the 750 mL bottle might seem small, but a little goes a long way, making it an investment worth every penny. Plus, the dark glass bottle helps preserve its freshness, ensuring every drop is as delightful as the first.

The olive oils are judged based on a number of qualities: fruitiness, pungency, complexity, harmony, bitterness, and persistence. With several winners from Morocco, it seems that Moroccan olive oil is finally being recognized by the international community. From sautéing veggies to dressing up a succulent grilled steak, this EVOO does it all. And don't even get me started on the fabulous drizzle it adds to my roasted garlic bread – it's like a dance of flavors on my palate! The Atlas Mountains of Morocco help grow the most perfect olives in the world, thanks to the rare climate and the geographical advantage of the high-reaching area. We, at Atlas Olive Oils, pride ourselves on producing the highest quality cold-pressed Moroccan olive oil, which is sustainably sourced and ethically produced. Fat is a nutrient with important functions. Firstly, it’s a rich source of energy, providing more than double that of either carbohydrate or protein. Being a carrier for the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K it provides the essential fatty acids, linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid, which are polyunsaturated.

Cardiovascular diseases are the top cause of death in the industrialised world. A host of studies have documented that arteriosclerosis is closely linked to eating habits and lifestyle. Regarding colour, this is not an indication of quality. This is why tasting at olive oil competitions is carried out in blue glasses so that colour is not judged as an indication of quality. Colour will vary depending on the specific olive cultivar. Oil from the Picholine Marocaine, which is the only olive used for Morocco Gold is typically a light golden colour.
