Ultra-cold pressing at 18ยฐC
Most suppliers describe their oil as "cold-pressed" without specifying temperature.
We press at 18ยฐC โ below the threshold at which oxidation initiates and tocopherols
begin to degrade. The result is a finished oil with the full tocopherol concentration
and fatty acid integrity of the raw material, verified in every lot's Certificate of
Analysis.
120 ha owned prickly pear farm
Our prickly pear seed oil comes from our own 120-hectare farm in the
Souss region โ not purchased through intermediaries. We control the harvest
calendar and extract oil within 12 hours of seed separation to minimise peroxide
development. Batch-to-batch consistency is visible in the COA.
Argan from authorized UNESCO zones
We source exclusively from authorized wild-harvest zones within Morocco's
820,000-hectare UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, under ECOCERT-audited cooperative
agreements. The same geographic source, the same harvesting teams, across
every lot.
