Argan Oil Cooperative
Bedste tid at besøge
Morning visits are best when the cooperative tends to be less crowded and the lighting is perfect for photos of the oil-making process.
Budgettips
Entry to the cooperative is typically free, but buying a small bottle of oil supports the community and is worth the price. Look for cooperative-packaged oils to avoid overpaying at nearby tourist shops.

Om
Hurtige fakta: The cooperative is run by local Berber women who hand-press the nuts from the argan tree to produce the oil. It takes about 30 kilograms of kernels to make just one liter of pure argan oil, highlighting the labor-intensive process.
Højdepunkter: Visitors get an up-close look at the traditional methods passed down through generations, including roasting the nuts over an open flame. The cooperative proudly supports women's empowerment with fair wages and community projects, creating a meaningful connection beyond the product.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as you’ll be standing and moving around.
- Ask permission before taking photos of the workers to respect their privacy.
- Try to visit early in the day to avoid the midday heat.
- Observe the roasting process carefully as it fills the air with a uniquely nutty aroma perfect for photos.
