Argan Oil is Liquid Gold


THE LIQUID GOLD! ARGAN OIL!

Argan oil (Argana spinosa) is a small and spiky tree that growth mostly in the south of Morocco and only recently became really recognized for its healing and nourishing properties. It bears a fruit that yields an edible nut. It takes the whole year for the fruit to mature. If you have seen photos of Morocco, often you will see goats on top of trees, climbing and feeding on the fruits and twigs.

Traditionally nuts were milled by hand once the kernel has passed through the goats gut. It then was cleaned, roasted and then ground and crushed. The mixture was then dowsed in water and the oil floats off. Decanting and settling removed the debris and clarified the oil.

Nowadays it is done with cold pressing and some refining.
