Cooperative traceability
The almonds undergo a light and controlled roasting before the first cold pressing. This step transforms the sensory profile: more intense color, toasted and nutty notes very popular in gastronomy, while retaining the lipid matrix characteristic of Argania spinosa. Recommended use: finishing, vinaigrettes, toast, amlou (argan paste with honey and almonds), cold dishes. Avoid prolonged heating beyond finishing uses to preserve the signature aromatic profile.
