Atlas 3 LT Organic Moroccan Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Atlas Olive Oils, a 4-generation family company with a legacy dating back to 1887, is committed to producing superior quality organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) that respects the environment and its people. This commitment has manifested in the creation of job opportunities in the impoverished regions of Morocco, while preserving the local culture and land.

The brand's passion for the terroir, coupled with a drive for innovation, has led to the development of new orchards using state-of-the-art cultivation systems that prioritize environmental and human welfare. Improved soil conditions, careful cultivar selection, and meticulous tree management enable Atlas Olive Oils to yield high-quality olives.

Nestled in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, the brand's olive groves thrive in a challenging yet exceptional environment. The harsh desert climate, with searing summer temperatures reaching 127°F, rocky soil, and limited water availability, causes the olive trees to experience a "panic" or survival instinct. This triggers the trees to produce an abundance of polyphenols, antioxidants, resulting in extraordinary levels of hydroxytyrosol in the resulting olive oil.

Atlas Olive Oils' sustainable production process ensures the highest quality and taste of their organic EVOO. The brand's diverse cultivars, including Picholine du Languedoc, Picholine Marocaine, Menara, Haouzia, Chemlali, and Dahbia, as well as Arbequina and Arbossana, are grown in the Marrakech region at an altitude of 390 meters. The well-balanced soil composition, pruning methods, and planting densities are meticulously managed to optimize olive yield and quality.

The EVOO is extracted using a two-phase continuous system, with a maximum temperature of 26°C, ensuring the oil retains its natural properties. The yield ranges from 11.5% to 15%, resulting in a production of 25,000 liters for the old bicentenary orchard and 450,000 liters for the modern orchard, all with a maximum acidity of 0.4° and 0.2°, respectively.

Atlas Olive Oils' commitment to excellence has earned the trust of Michelin-starred chefs, who recognize the brand as a true representation of Morocco's culinary culture. The brand's EVOO collection, including Atlas, Les Terroirs de Marrakech, Desert Miracle, and Atlas Natural Spray, offers a diverse range of aromas and flavors, from ripe banana and red tomato to almonds, basil, and culinary herbs. These versatile oils are suitable for a wide range of culinary applications, including frying, baking, and dressings.

By prioritizing sustainable practices, ethical production, and uncompromising quality, Atlas Olive Oils is not only providing exceptional olive oil but also contributing to the responsible development of the regions in which it operates, respecting both the environment and its people.
