Atlas Olive Oils, a 4-generation family company with a rich olive oil tradition dating back to 1887, believes in responsible development that respects the environment and people. This commitment has led the company to produce its olive oil sustainably, creating job opportunities in the impoverished regions of Morocco while respecting and preserving the local culture and land.
The company's passion for the special terroir, coupled with a desire for innovation, has driven the development of new orchards using the most up-to-date cultivation systems, all while maintaining full respect for the environment and people. Improved soil conditions, attentive cultivar selection, and careful tree growth enable Atlas Olive Oils to produce high-quality olives.
Naturally rich in polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol, the company's organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the result of the olive trees' "panic" response to the harsh desert environment, with its scorching summers, rocky soil, and lack of water. This stress causes the trees to produce a high quantity of antioxidants, resulting in an extraordinary hydroxytyrosol value in the final oil.
Atlas Olive Oils has carefully approached all aspects of its organic EVOO production process, adopting sustainable procedures to ensure environmental and social responsibility. The company's olive groves consist of both ancient bicentenary orchards and modern high-density plantations, with a variety of cultivars including Picholine du Languedoc, Picholine Marocaine, Menara, Haouzia, Chemlali, Dahbia, Arbequina, and Arbossana.
Located in the Marrakech region at an altitude of 390 meters, the company's olive groves cover 245 hectares (605 acres) and feature well-balanced soil compositions. The pruning methods, tree densities, and production volumes vary between the old and new orchards, but all olive oil is extracted using a two-phase continuous system and bottled at a maximum temperature of 26°C.
Atlas Olive Oils' organic EVOO boasts a delicate and complex aroma, with notes of almonds, culinary herbs, sweet bananas, lemons, and basil. The taste is equally pleasing, offering a sweet and mild flavor profile suitable for a wide range of culinary uses, from salads and meats to baking and desserts.
Recognized for its exceptional quality, Atlas Olive Oils is trusted by Michelin-starred chefs and used in exclusive restaurants, luxury hotels, high-profile institutions, and prestigious gourmet stores worldwide. The company's commitment to sustainability, coupled with its focus on producing the highest-quality Moroccan olive oil, has earned it a reputation as a leader in the industry.
