We produce organic EVOO of superior quality only from our own Organic Family Farms. Trusted by Michelin Stars Chefs. We represent one excellence of the culinary culture of Morocco. HYDROXYTYROSOL & THE DESERTNaturally rich in Polyphenols, particularly HydroxytyrosolBecause of the harsh environment of the desert (127°F during summer, rocky soil, roots cannot develop easily, lack of water), the olive trees are so stressed that a phenomenon of panic (survival instinct) occurs. This causes the olive trees to produce a huge quantity of polyphenols (antioxidants) to survive. The resulting olive oil contains an extraordinary hydroxytyrosol value.
