Atlas 3 LT Organic Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Chefs from Morocco

Atlas Olive Oils is dedicated to sustainable development, prioritizing respect for both the environment and local communities. This philosophy has led to job creation in impoverished regions of Morocco while honoring the rich cultural heritage and land. Our enthusiasm for the unique terroir, combined with a commitment to innovation, drives us to cultivate new orchards using the latest environmentally friendly farming practices. This approach optimizes soil health, carefully selects cultivars, and promotes thoughtful tree growth, resulting in premium quality olives.

Having been founded in 1887, Atlas Olive Oils is a family-owned company that has maintained a four-generation legacy in olive oil production. We solely produce organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from our certified family farms, earning the trust of Michelin-starred chefs and establishing our position as a beacon of Moroccan culinary excellence.

One of the distinctive aspects of our oil is its high hydroxytyrosol concentration, stemming from the unique conditions of our desert environment. Enduring extreme heat—up to 127°F—and challenging soil conditions prompts the olive trees to produce an abundance of polyphenols, essential for their survival. Consequently, this leads to an oil rich in antioxidants, elevating the quality of our EVOO.

Navigating the complexities of sustainable development entails a profound respect for both the environment and the people involved in the production process. Our farming practices emphasize planting olive groves in a manner that safeguards these values. Choosing the appropriate olive cultivars is vital; we grow varieties that flourish in their natural surroundings, ensuring exceptional oil quality.

We pride ourselves on adhering to a strict mechanical production approach, employing first cold pressing for our premium organic EVOO. In enjoying Atlas Olive Oils, consumers contribute positively to environmental preservation, as every bottle reflects our commitment to sustainable practices.

Our organic extra virgin olive oil boasts a blend of traditional and modern cultivars, encompassing varieties such as the bicentennial Picholine du Languedoc and contemporary Arbequina. The olives hail from our 245 hectares of olive groves in the Marrakech region, situated at an altitude of 390 meters above sea level. Our well-balanced soil comprises 30% clay, 35% loamy, and 35% sandy, creating ideal conditions for olive trees.

With a production capacity of 25,000 liters from our ancient orchards and 450,000 liters from modern groves, we maintain stringent quality control, ensuring max acidity levels of 0.4° and 0.2° respectively. The harvesting season extends from late September through December. Our extraction techniques involve cold pressing at temperatures not exceeding 26°C, utilizing a two-phase continuous system that maximizes yield efficiency.

Our organic olive oils adapt well to various culinary applications, making them excellent for frying, baking, and dressing. The aromatic spectrum ranges from ripe bananas and red tomatoes to fresh cut grass and culinary herbs, offering a delightful combination of tastes that enhance any dish.

We are proud to have our extra virgin olive oils featured in ten Michelin-starred restaurants. Their distinct flavor profiles and high-quality assurance have attracted exclusive dining establishments, luxury hotels, and renowned gourmet stores. Atlas Olive Oils exemplifies a fusion of organoleptic excellence, chemical robustness, and eco-sustainability, appealing to the world's most discerning culinary professionals. Our commitment to exceptional quality and responsible production continues to set us apart in the olive oil industry.
