Shop / pompeian extra virgin olive oil
Atlas Olive Oils, a 4-generation family company with an ancient olive oil tradition dating back to 1887, believes in responsible development that respects both the environment and people. This commitment has led the company to produce its olive oil sustainably, creating job opportunities in the impoverished regions of Morocco while respecting and preserving the local culture and land.
The passion for this special terroir, combined with a desire for innovation, has driven Atlas Olive Oils to develop new orchards using the most up-to-date cultivation systems, always with full respect for the environment and people. Improved soil conditions, a meticulous cultivar selection, and careful tree growth enable the company to produce high-quality olives.
Naturally rich in polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol, the olive oil produced by Atlas Olive Oils is a result of the harsh desert environment (with temperatures reaching 127°F during summer, rocky soil, and limited water availability) that causes the olive trees to undergo a "panic" survival instinct, leading them to produce a high quantity of antioxidants. This results in an extraordinary hydroxytyrosol value in the resulting olive oil.
Atlas Olive Oils has carefully approached all aspects of its organic olive oil production process, adopting sustainable procedures to ensure the quality and taste of its Ultra-Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO). The company's flagship product, "Desert Miracle," is an organic olive oil produced from Dahbia (a Moroccan variety) and Arbequina (a Spanish variety) cultivars grown in the ElBorouj region.
The olive grove covers an area of 200 hectares (495 acres) at an altitude of 340 meters above sea level, with a soil composition of 25% clay, 30% muddy/loamy, and 45% sandy, providing a well-aerated, calcareous environment. The olive trees are pruned into cups or hedges, with a density of 1,852 trees per hectare.
The production of Desert Miracle yields 330,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil with a maximum acidity of 0.2% when bottled. The harvest takes place from the end of September to the end of December, and the oil is extracted using a two-phase continuous system with a maximum temperature of 26°C (78.8°F), ensuring the first cold-pressed quality.
Atlas Olive Oils' products, including Desert Miracle, Les Terroirs de Marrakech, and Atlas, are trusted by Michelin-starred chefs and prestigious institutions around the world. These extra virgin olive oils are known for their diverse aromatic profiles, ranging from almonds and basil to ripe banana and culinary herbs, and their versatility in both cooking and baking applications.
Committed to transparency and customer satisfaction, Atlas Olive Oils stands behind its products and encourages customers to reach out through their Amazon account for any questions or concerns. The company's dedication to sustainable practices and exceptional quality has made its organic extra virgin olive oils a renowned choice among discerning chefs and consumers alike.
