Atlas Organic Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Atlas introduces a premium line of organic extra virgin olive oil, embodying a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. This exquisite olive oil combines cultivars from an old centenary orchard and a modern orchard, each contributing unique characteristics to create a complex and rich flavor profile.

The olive oil features a diverse blend of cultivars. From the old centenary orchard, it includes the French Picholine du Languedoc (80%), complemented by local Moroccan varieties such as Picholine Marocaine, Menara, Haouzia, Chemlali, and Dahbia. Meanwhile, the modern orchard introduces Spanish varieties, Arbequina (84%) and Arbossana (16%), adding a contemporary twist to the traditional blend.

Located in the scenic Marrakech region, Atlas’ olive grove is expansive, covering 245 hectares (approximately 605 acres) at an altitude of 390 meters above sea level. The soil, a balanced mix of 30% clay, 35% muddy/loamy, and 35% sandy, provides an ideal environment for olive cultivation.

The orchards are managed with different pruning systems, with some trees cut into cups and others into hedges, reflecting a blend of traditional and modern approaches. The density varies between the old centenary orchard (100 trees per hectare) and the modern orchard (1,852 trees per hectare), illustrating the diverse cultivation methods used.

In terms of production, the old orchard yields about 25,000 liters of olive oil with a maximum acidity of 0.4°, while the modern orchard produces an impressive 450,000 liters at a maximum acidity of 0.2°. This high production volume is testament to Atlas’ commitment to quality and quantity.

The harvest season extends from the end of September to December, with a first cold-pressed extraction method employed at a maximum temperature of 26°C. This method ensures the retention of the oil’s natural flavors and health benefits. The system of extraction is an ecological 2 phases continuous system, emphasizing Atlas’ dedication to sustainability.

Atlas’ olive oil offers a yield between 11.5% to 15%, indicative of the quality and efficiency of their production process. The oil is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from small glass bottles (0.25 to 1 liter) to larger metal tins (3 to 5 liters) and even pet bottles (0.25 to 5 liters), catering to different consumer needs.

The brand boasts several prestigious certifications, including Organic Europe, Organic USA, Organic China, Moroccan Halal, Kosher for Passover, and CO2 Neutral Company certifications, highlighting its global appeal and commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.

Atlas’ premium organic extra virgin olive oil represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, offering a product that is both high in quality and rich in history. Whether for culinary enthusiasts, health-conscious individuals, or those who appreciate the finer things in life, Atlas’ olive oil is an exquisite choice that promises to elevate any culinary experience.
