Top 6 Moroccan Olive Oils

Olive Oil Season is a producer of high-quality extra virgin olive oil from plantations in the Meknes region of Morocco. Their oil is made from the Picholine Marocaine olive variety, renowned for its fruity and slightly bitter aromatic profile. Special attention is given to the handpicking of predominantly green olives at the earliest stage of ripeness, ensuring a high polyphenol content, which contributes to the health benefits and stability of the oil.

After harvesting, the olives are swiftly processed using cold extraction at the Oléastre mill near Meknes, preserving their beneficial compounds and aromas. Their team includes experts such as Markus Siebeneicher, an olive oil sommelier and creative director; Reda Tahiri, the master miller responsible for olive cultivation and the extraction process; and Dalal Najem, a chemist and quality manager who ensures that only the finest olive oil reaches consumers.Expand

Their olive groves span around 600 hectares, divided between modern and traditional plots. They use a variety of cultivars including Picholine du Languedoc, Menara, Haouzia, and Dahbia, which are well-adapted to the Moroccan climate.
