Hand-picked and hand-pressed, this USDA certified organic oil is rich in antioxidants and offers a unique flavor, making it a perfect addition to your culinary repertoire while supporting sustainable farming practices. ## Description Product Description Packed with antioxidants, argan oil has become recognized worldwide as a highly coveted superfood. Hand-pressed from organic argan nuts, Auzoud certified organic culinary argan oil has been toasted to produce a slightly nutty flavor with exceptional aroma. Use in place of other oils on couscous, vegetables, salads, meats and seafood. Our argan oil is ethically sourced from a women-founded cooperative that assures fair wages and sustainable practices to protect the argan forests of South Western Morocco. Many argan sources, both inside and outside of Morocco, use illegal deforestation and contribute to degradation of the argan tree. To better safeguard and sustain this endemic tree, this cooperative sources their argan oil from a monitored and protected unesco world heritage site.

SUSTAINABLY HARVESTED Cultivated on a protected UNESCO World Heritage site. SUPPORTS NORTH AFRICAN WOMEN FARMERS Grown by a women-run farming cooperative in Morocco. TRADITIONALLY PREPARED Hand-picked, hand-pressed and toasted to produce a unique and full flavor. Auzoud's mission is to empower Moroccan women and youth farmers as they obtain fair prices and a more sustainable livelihood for themselves and their families. In addition to offering only the finest authentic Moroccan foods, Auzoud is committed to working with women and youth farmers from the High Atlas mountain region. This rural area is home to hundreds of olive, saffron and argan farmers, most of whom live without simple amenities like running water and electricity. Many of the farmers are single mothers hoping to send their children to school. Auzoud has been founded by the grandson of one such farmer. Our partner cooperatives are based on membership participation and fair prices, allowing women to feed their families and educate their children. Improving the socio-economic situation, health and education of women and youth has an immediate and lasting impact on the well-being of families and the preservation of the local culture and community. We are focused on expanding the number of farmers we work with, in turn directly increasing profit margins for local farmers and most importantly, their quality of life. About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.More than argan.How did you come up with the idea for this product?I was born and raised in the Ouzoud region of the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This mountainous region is incredibly picturesque and gets its name from the Ouzoud Waterfalls, the tallest in Morocco. The word ouzoud/auzoud means “olive” in Berber, my native language and that of the indigenous people of Morocco and North Africa. Ouzoud’s waters contribute to the region’s fertile agricultural land, which is dotted with many small, family owned olive farms. These families still use traditional methods to harvest their olives every year. Like many of the farmers in this region, my grandfather has a small olive farm that was passed down from generation to generation...it has been in my family for as long as anyone can remember. Now ninety-four years old, my grandfather still lives off the land and the olive grove is still producing. As a child, I spent part of each year helping family and neighbors pick olives by hand during the harvest season. We would quickly move the olives to a small mill to press this extraordinary olive oil that we all loved for its full flavor and aroma. After moving to the U.S. I became inspired by my childhood memories and my connection with my ancestors’ land to help the communities I left behind. I also wanted to share the experience of quality olive oil, which is so much a part of life in Morocco, with my American family and friends. I want people here to be able to experience an authentic and flavorful olive oil of the kind that is often difficult to find in the U.S. But just as important for me is the ability to help others prosper and improve their lives, and to honor the hard work of my grandfather and the local farmers from our region. Now we have expanded and are working with three cooperatives in Morocco. All cooperative members are small-scale farmers, many of them single mothers and young people hoping for a stable income to help their families. We hope you enjoy our products and share them with your family, as we do, and that you understand Auzoud to be an offering that unites our regions, languages, cultures and religions. As such, Auzoud's logo is the dove carrying an olive branch - a universal symbol of hope and peace - in reflection of this wish for shared prosperity and peace between our communities and across the world.What makes your product special?Auzoud Organic Argan Oil is sourced directly from a women-run farmers' cooperative in the countryside of Morocco. A purchase with Auzoud guarantees fair wages and healthy working conditions for hundreds of small farmers throughout the region.What has been the best part of your startup experience?By far the best part of our startup experience has been connecting and working closely with hundreds of small farmers from my home region. I love engaging with them and learning their stories. Like my grandfather, most of the farmers we work with have farmland that has been passed down for many generations. As they finally, now, receive fair pay for their products, many farming families are able to greatly improve their quality of life and transform local conditions by, for example, sending their children to school. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute in this way! ## Features - SUPPORTS NORTH AFRICAN WOMEN FARMERS: Perfect Christmas Holiday Gift!

It’s more expensive this year, but what isn’t. It is still worth it. I still really enjoy it.I had wanted to try culinary argan oil for about two years. There are several high-end grocery stores in my city, but I never got around to seeing if they carried it.I have been using topical argan oil on my nails and skin off and on for about 5 years. I love what it does. I met a Moroccan family, and to a person, their skin was beautiful. I began to wonder if it was perhaps argan oil in their diets, so I wanted to experiment.I read about culinary argan oil, and noticed especially the comments about the taste and fragrance.Looking on Amazon, I wanted a quality product, but I didn’t want to overpay, because it is expensive enough as it is. I looked at the various products, and this one caught my interest because the description said it was USDA organic. And I thought it sounded neat that it is produced on a protected UNESCO site.The inner package was carefully wrapped. It arrived the next day (How is that possible?! I didn’t order it through Fresh).I just now tasted it, and it is different from the topic argan (which I sometimes taste because I use it on my face). It DOES have a distinctive nutty fragrance and taste that is different for me, but nice. It’s unique. I can’t wait to try it on rice, with bread, and salads. I’ll need to do more reading about cooking with it. For now, I want to taste it drizzled over food. I am very happy with the oil. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product *by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2024* Looking forward to buy more...... ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars One Star *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016* I guess it tastes OK, having had only two tests. Turns out I'm allergic to argan oil --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/33493888-auzoud-organic-culinary-argan-oil-for-cooking-supports-north-african](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/33493888-auzoud-organic-culinary-argan-oil-for-cooking-supports-north-african) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
