OUR CORE VALUES
From branch to bottle, no shortcuts are taken, no steps are overlooked. Simply the best Picholine Marocaine olives, selected early in the season, handpicked and cold pressed within 24 hours of picking.
The end result is a ‘liquid gold’: an incredibly rare, extra virgin olive oil of exceptional quality, extraordinary health benefits and a taste like none other.
“Truly Gold. Best olive oil ever. I lived in the Mediterranean, had it all. Greek, Italian, Spanish oils. Does not compare to the freshness, health benefits and single estate source of Morocco Gold”. Dana Moll
HERITAGE + SOURCE
When speaking about olive oil most people think Italian, Spanish or possibly Greek. What there are less aware of is that from the time of the Romans, Morocco has a rich heritage in producing extra virgin olive oil of exceptional quality.
Nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, a half-day’s drive outside of Marrakech, exists a unique, unspoiled valley with a terroir and microclimate that provides ideal conditions for growing the prized Picholine Marocaine cultivar, the only type of olive used to create Morocco Gold. These olives give Morocco Gold its distinctive green fruitiness, hints of sweet almonds, fresh turf and a hint of herbs. It has the distinctive 'pepperiness' of a fine extra virgin olive oil giving Morocco Gold a clean, well-balanced finish.
It is only recently that this undiscovered source has been appreciated, creating a large demand for this rare and highly sought-after extra virgin olive oil from this unique source from health-conscious food lovers and culinary connoisseurs alike.
AUTHENTICITY
Launched in late 2018, Morocco Gold exemplifies natural, sustainable agricultural methods. It combines centuries of local cultivation and harvesting knowledge, with our rigorous traceability and quality assurance procedures to bring what is locally considered a ‘noble food’ to international markets.
Morocco Gold is rigorously tested both in Morocco by ONSSA (Office National de Securite Sanitaire des Produits Alimentaires), and then further tested to the highest International Olive Council standards. Morocco Gold is fully traceable throughout its production to guarantee provenance, authenticity and extra virgin quality. Uniquely, the results of our annual harvest analysis are printed on each and every bottle of Morocco Gold.
COMMUNITY
Morocco Gold is leading the way in transforming the Moroccan olive oil sector and setting a new standard for the industry. We work closely with a local co-operative, largely consisting of women. As a country, Morocco’s agricultural sector employs approximately 40% of the nation’s workforce; women comprising nearly half of these employees. Employment in agriculture has been shown to be at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors. It is known to reduce poverty directly by raising farm incomes, generating employment and reducing food prices.
Morocco Gold is proud to support the empowerment of Moroccan women through employment in the agricultural sector.
HEALTH & WELLNESS BENEFITS
With extra virgin olive oil deemed the original ‘superfood’, Moroccan Gold is a heart-healthy addition to any regular diet and health-conscious lifestyle. What makes Morocco Gold truly special is its level of polyphenols, the antioxidants that work to neutralize free radicals, thus protecting the body from cellular damage.
Extensive research has shown that high quality extra virgin olive oil like Morocco Gold helps to protect against a range of chronic illnesses including heart disease, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, aiding the digestive health, helping to prevent diabetes and lessening the severity of osteoporosis.
In fact the European Food Safety Authority has approved health claims for extra virgin olive oil with a polyphenol level of 250mg / kg and above. Morocco Gold is consistently well above this level. Our latest harvest has a polyphenol level of 644mg/kg.
With over 60% repeat orders, many of our customers have now made Morocco Gold part of their healthy lifestyle choices.
INNOVATION
Morocco Gold is also at the front-end of packaging innovation including:
• Bottle design concept (echoing ancient amphorae, but with a modern aesthetic)
• Label design echoes an ‘art-deco’ style combined with an immediately identifiable Moroccan logo to create a visually arresting presentation.
• Our labelling uses state-of-the art technology combining digital and screen-print methods onto a film surface to create a luxury, embossed finish.
• Our Gold Award winning internet packaging also means that Morocco Gold can be delivered worldwide.
