Argan oil extraction is a craftmanship

Argan oil extraction

After the Argan almonds have cooled down, they are grinded in a manually powered stone mill. 

The almond mash, which is slowly running out of the mill, is expelled of the oil with workmanlike care by constant kneading and the addition of tepid water. After that, the unfiltered oil is decanted into vessels.

The brown press cake, that remains after this procedure will either be used as premium quality concentrated feed in the animal husbandry or it will be sold on the local souk. Even the nutshells will not be thrown away, for they make very good heating fuel.

In a word, everything the Argan tree provides, is of use for us.
