Argana oil the liquid gold of Morocco
The argana tree from whose fruit the valuable argana oil is extracted grows almost exclusively in Maroco. In comparison to the olive tree the leaves are dark green and the branches have strong thorns. Argana oil is in great demand in the cosmetics industry and very valuable.
Argana fruit
In so-called co-operative processes, the fruits are dried and then the oil core is removed from the shell and then milled and pressed. This work is mainly done by female farmers.
The Argana tree grows in parts from very barren soil and the goats often do not find enough food, because this is the foliage of the Argana tree like to eat, they climb the tree to get to the tasty leaves. A curiosity typical for maroco
