A great addition to your dishes
Essence of Argan Oil is rich in flavor and a great compliment to a range of dishes and recipes. It’s great for dipping bread, drizzling over salads, and for adding to couscous.
A delicious flavor
It tastes amazing when drizzled over roasted peppers. It adds another dimension when stirred into soups. This oil can be used when making Bakklava and other Middle Eastern pastries.

Not impressed
This product was not worth the price tag. I’ve been looking for a good argon oil to put on my salads since trying some from Morocco and this doesn’t fit the bill. Almost tasted rancid.

The real thing!
For decades, I couldn’t find culinary argan oil in the US. Finally, it’s here, and smells just like I remember from Morocco. The taste is a little milder than I remember, but I am delighted to have it. If you’re not familiar with it, argon oil is a strong-tasting oil like olive oil, but a different taste. Often used in a tajine mixed with a neutral oil (I use canola).

Interesting oil
I was curious about this oil because of the announced benefits in reducing cholesterol in ones blood stream. It has a hint of a nutty flavor. It’s an off shoot from hazelnut but not quite as profound. Goes good on a salad with cracked black pepper. The thickness is complimentary for this being used in or as a dressing for one’s salads.

No tengo experiencia de este artículo pero, por lo q he leído mmm dudo un poco sobre su legitimidad el olor no me agrado porque huele a semillas quemadas lo siento

Good stuff!
Definitely think this is the real thing. My Moroccan friends tell me that most of the Argan oil used in cosmetics is fake. I have purchased some well known brands that had almost no odor, which is not right. It should smell a bit like sesame, but not quite the same. Would suggest sticking with organic, food grade Argan oil. You can still use it in your hair or on your skin. Still cheaper than some of the cosmetic quality stuff, so why bother?

Really yummy!
I was introduced to this oil while on a trip to Morocco a year ago. I bought some while I was there, but used it all up. So, I ordered this product. I spray it on salads and find it tastes even better than olive oil.

Beauty from inside…
I have always loved products that contain this rich Moroccan Oil…and find the history of its original harvest fascinating! A recent magazine article suggested that as little as a tablespoon of this oil daily can create this same “miracle conditioning” effect from the inside out! On my fourth order of this amazing oil and although the taste was a bit strong at first…I am now addicted to it! Allyson Glasscock

The fragrance of this oil is amazingly nutty. Delicious smell really. As strong as peanuts only very unique. Personally I didn’t care for the flavor. A little bitter and undistinct. Sure would make a great body oil tho if you didn’t mind smelling like fresh roasted nutz.

Tasty
Don’t know if it’s completely working yet as internal health benefits usually take years to express themselves. My reading about this product does give me confidence in its efficacy though. By the way, it tastes good and does alleviate my dry skin issues when applied externally.

Healthy For Skin Tasty On Food
I originally got this for making homemade beauty products, but since it is culinary grade I have since tried some on toast. Not only is it great on my skin but it also has a nice nutty flavor and is wonderful drizzled on toast and salads as well.

Did anybody find the expiration date on the bottle? I couldn’t find it and the color looks a little too dark… I am concerned about it because the texture and smell are different from what they usually appear to be.

I read this is good for skin, cholesterol and lots of other things so decided to give it a try. This is my second bottle and my skin does look and feel smoother. Will have to try for 3 months to see if works on cholesterol.

A delicious treat!
Awesome on bread in place of butter- I pour a small amount into a little bowl & dip the bread into it. Flavor is hard to describe- maybe like sweet toasted nuts but there’s a complexity to it that’s like nothing else….very delicious!

Difficult to Find
I first became acquainted with culinary-grade high quality argan oil when I was in Morocco. It has a distinct nutty flavor that I enjoy. I use it in dressings for salads and other foods. It also has helped me to reduce my cholesterol, so I down a slug of it every morning. After I used up my Moroccan stash, I looked all over the US and Canada for it. Finally I hit on this one. I have ordered it twice now and am pleased with it. While it doesn’t taste exactly like what I bought in Morocco, it’s fairly close. I’m sure that it must lose a bit in transit because of fluctuating temperatures.There are many argan oils out there, but all the other ones I found were diluted with other kinds of oils. This one is 100% pure organic argan oil. It’s pricey, but cheaper than the cholesterol meds I was taking and doesn’t have the side effects.

Delicious earthy fragrance.
Has a very nice taste on a salad or veggies. If it’s good for consumption, it’s also 100% safe for skin care. It also makes a nice skin oil at a fraction of the price of the highly filtered cosmetic oils available. The earthy/nutty fragrance doesn’t linger. Or add few drops of a essential oil.

These plastic bottles have sediment in the bottom, no expiration date, and do not even say “Product of Morocco”.

Chemical flavor
I am pretty unhappy with this oil. It has a chemical flavor that I did not experience with a different brand. I don’t know if it’s the plastic bottle or residue from the processing, but I wish I could get me money back. I don’t want to consume this.

Better price and same stuff if using it for cosmetic purposes. Like the nutty taste and smell. People that asked for this use it for dry scalp and psoriasis.
