Atlas 750 mL Organic Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Michelin Star Chefs

Atlas Olive Oils: A Legacy of Sustainable Excellence

Atlas Olive Oils is a family-owned enterprise with roots tracing back to 1887, devoted to the ethical and sustainable production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Grounded in a philosophy that values environmental stewardship and community welfare, Atlas Olive Oils strives to make a positive impact in some of Morocco's most impoverished regions. This commitment has fostered job creation while honoring local culture and nurturing the land.

Our Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability

In our pursuit of excellence, we blend passion for our unique terroir with innovative agricultural practices. By utilizing advanced cultivation techniques, we respect both the environment and the people it nurtures. Through dedicated attention to soil health, careful cultivar selection, and meticulous tree management, we ensure the production of top-tier olives.

Unparalleled Quality and Rich Heritage

Atlas Olive Oils stands as a testament to generations of tradition, having been influenced by the rich culinary culture of Morocco. Our organic EVOO is sourced exclusively from our family farms, trusted by Michelin-starred chefs for its premium quality. The harsh desert conditions, characterized by extreme temperatures (127°F in summer), poor soil, and water scarcity, compel our olive trees to produce an abundance of polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol. This survival instinct results in olive oil that is remarkably rich in antioxidants.

Environmental Stewardship Through Integrated Production

Morocco's challenging landscape uniquely contributes to the creation of our oil. We focus on sustainable development, protecting both the environment and local communities while establishing olive groves. By cultivating appropriate cultivars in pristine conditions, we are able to produce exceptional olive oil. Our farming practices incorporate mechanized processes and first cold pressing techniques, only using premium organic-grade olives.

Atlas Olive Oils' Premium Offerings

Our diverse range of cultivars includes ancient varieties such as Picholine du Languedoc (80%), Picholine Marocaine (10%), Menara, Haouzia, Chemlali, and Dahbia alongside modern selections like Arbequina (84%) and Arbossana (16%). Spanning an area of 245 hectares (605 acres) in the Marrakech region, our olive trees thrive at an altitude of 390 meters above sea level. The well-balanced soil composition (30% clay, 35% loamy, and 35% sandy) further enhances the quality of the olives.

For those seeking the highest quality, our old bicentenary orchards yield 25,000 liters of oil with a maximum acidity of 0.4° upon bottling. The modern orchards, in comparison, produce 450,000 liters at a maximum acidity of only 0.2°. Our harvesting season stretches from late September to the end of December, utilizing a two-phase continuous extraction system at a maximum temperature of 26°C.

A Culinary Essential

Our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is versatile and adds a touch of elegance to various dishes—from salads to meats and fish. Diverse aromas, including red tomato, ripe banana, and almond, complement flavors such as culinary herbs and fresh greenery. The sweet and mild character of our oils makes them suitable for any culinary application.

Ethical Excellence and Global Recognition

Atlas Olive Oils continues to earn acclaim on the international stage, with our products featured in ten Michelin-starred restaurants. Esteemed luxury hotels, high-end gourmet stores, and acclaimed culinary professionals appreciate our oils for their exceptional organoleptic and chemical-physical properties, paired with sustainable production practices.
