Process

The old process was unbelievable : in West Morocco, goats climb the trees in order to eat the sweet flesh that surround the argan kernels. After they have eaten, the goats eliminate the kernels which was collected by the women of the villages, washed and then ground in order to extract the oil.

Nowadays, modern technology has eliminated the goats "process" and their droppings from the process. Kernels are stripped by machine of the fruit before the kernels are crushed and cold pressed.

The oil has a specific aroma and is considered as the best culinary oil by Moroccans and now by European "connaisseurs".
