Often referred to as liquid gold, argan oil is a famous product of Morocco. The valuable oil has many health benefits and it is produced from the nut of the argan tree, a tree that only grows in certain areas of Morocco. Although the trees do not grow in the Ourika Valley, there are several argan-oil collectives where women work hard to peel argan fruit as part of the oil-extracting process. It’s interesting to learn the labour-intensive processes needed to produce the oil, and you can buy a range of argan products too.
