The cooperative at Imintlit Centre
Arganisme has worked from the argan forest of the Essaouira region since 2007. The kernels are cracked by hand; everything after that is mechanical, controlled and documented.
A tree that grows nowhere else
Argania spinosa is endemic to south-western Morocco. The fruit is harvested, dried and the nut cracked to release the kernel — the step that still resists mechanisation and remains the work of the women of the cooperative.
From the kernel onward the process is industrial: mechanical cold pressing, micro-filtration and, where the grade calls for it, physical steam deodorization. That combination is the whole proposition — hand-cracked origin, laboratory-grade output.
Where the oil comes from
Argania spinosa grows nowhere else on earth. These are the groves and the hands behind every lot.

Buying from the press, not from a trader
Traceable to the lot
Every shipment carries a batch number tied to a pressing date and a harvest.
No blending desk
We press what we sell. No intermediate trader consolidating unknown lots.
Pressed against your order
Oil oxidises. Pressing to order keeps peroxide values low and shelf life long.
