amlou spread
Introduction: Amlou – Morocco’s Culinary Secret
You’ve probably never heard of it, and you’re about to be in for a treat as you’re going to discover one of Morocco’s most delicious and healthiest traditional foods. Nicknamed the “Moroccan peanut butter,” Amlou is a dense, nutty, slightly sweet paste made from toasted almonds, cold-pressed argan oil, and natural multiflower honey.
A delight as well as a nutrient-rich superfood, Amlou has been cherished for generations in south Morocco — especially the Souss and the Atlas Mountains. Today, Amlou is popular worldwide as a guilt-free alternative to packaged nut butters and spreads.
– What Constitutes Amlou?
A genuine Amlou contains just three organic components, each adding to the nutritional value and flavor:
– 1. Roasted Almonds
Almonds form the foundation of amlou, providing a rich, creamy feel and subtle roasted taste. Almonds are rich in:
Healthy fats
Plant protein in additition
Vitamin E and magnesium
Fiber and antioxidants
We at EllyZaki locally source Moroccan almonds and toast small batches to release their flavor and aroma.
– 2. Cold-Pressed Argan Oil
Argan oil is Morocco’s “liquid gold.” Full of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E morever, it’s not just wonderful for your skin — but also incredibly healthy to consume. Argan oil benefits:
Lowers bad cholesterol
Improves heart health
Boosts brain function ,
- Consequently, it may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
We use only culinary-grade, cold-pressed argan oil to maintain its nutrients and unique nutty taste.
– 3. Natural Multiflower Honey
The final ingredient is raw, unprocessed honey from a diverse blend of Moroccan wildflowers. Multiflower honey is famous for possessing:
Antibacterial and antioxidant properties
Rich, complex flavor
Natural preservation strength
Our honey is raw, unfiltered, and directly sourced from Moroccan beekeepers in the Atlas Mountains.
