A Full day trip to the country of the argan tree, a region located between Agadir and Essaouira, which was the first biosphere area created in 1998 and recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage.
In this day trip to Essaouira we will meet the Berber women in cooperative grouped together. This association has two objectives: To improve the socio-economic status of these women, and to preserve the argan forest by promoting it through a process of sustainable economic development.
The fruits of the argan tree are collected and brought to the douar where they are shelled. The nut is then crushed and grilled before being crushed, to give an oil with multiple virtues, used daily in cooking. It brings to the dishes a sweet taste of hazelnut.
Unroasted Argan nuts are used to produce argan oil for cosmetics. To do this, the women grind the fruits, in a hand grinder, (the rha). The paste obtained, embedded in the water is kneaded for a long time, then pressed by hand to extract the oil. These are the same gestures that the women of the cooperative continue to make.
