Every batch is handmade with lots of love. Please give our products a try. You will not be disappointed.
We specialize in the saffron and argan trades. We import our saffron and argan directly from Morocco. Taliouine, Morocco is the heart of Morocco’s saffron industry. It is a mountain village situated near the Atlas Mountains. The rich volcanic soil combined with the ideal climate—dry, with brutally hot summers and cold winters—gives the saffron its potency, color and exceptional aroma. Centuries of developing agricultural skills has allowed farmers to produce some of the world’s finest saffron threads. Taliouine is the top saffron producer in Africa, and Morocco is the fourth-largest producer of saffron in the world.
Agadir, in southwestern Morocco, is famous for its beautiful beaches and argan trees. The trees produce a fruit that is harvested each spring and cold-pressed to create argan oil. The argan oil we source is a labor-intensive process produced by hand by a women-run cooperative using traditional methods. With its smooth nutty taste, culinary argan oil is perfect for cooking, drizzling and dipping, and is high in vitamin E and healthy fats.
