5. A Extra Virgin Olive Oil With A Unique Heritage

The story behind the history and production of extra virgin olive oil in Morocco is fascinating.

Morocco has been producing the best extra virgin olive oil for millennia, from the time of the Romans. The existence of centenary trees and traditional presses (maasras), testify to the antiquity of olive oil production. Indeed, olive oil has long been considered a noble food by the local population.

According to moroccanoliveoil.com, the optimal season to harvest olives in Morocco is November to the end of December but could extend to mid-February. Optimal quality is generally achieved when all the colors of the olive are on the olive tree. Although harvesting is mainly manual, the milling is 100% mechanical and done within 6 hours to ensure an extra virgin olive oil, obtained from the first press of the olives.

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. Impress your friends with a unique gift of extra virgin olive oil and share the story behind its production for an unforgettable experience!
