Extra virgin high-phenolic
The world has no shortage of olive oil. There is a lack of traceable, documented olive oil, rich in active polyphenols, produced directly at the source without intermediaries. This is exactly what Folk Oils delivers, from the cooperatives and small farmers of Aït Attab, in the Moroccan High Atlas, to premium nutraceutical, cosmetic and gourmet markets around the world.

These three figures are not marketing arguments. These are analytical values measured by HPLC and GC chromatography, dosed batch by batch, communicated to each customer with the certificate of analysis. Individually, each already exists in some premium oils. Together, in a single oil, from a single traceable origin, without intermediaries, it is extremely rare. This is the Folk Oils positioning.
MARKET CONTEXT · MOROCCO · 2025
Morocco produces 200,000 tonnes and exports little. Folk Oils changes that.
An exploding sector, and a premium void that Folk Oils directly occupies.

US tax on Morocco vs. 15–25% competitors
In 2025, Morocco will experience an unprecedented transformation of its olive industry. The Moroccan Interprofessional Olive Federation (Interprolive) projects 200,000 tonnes of olive oil production, more than double from 2024, with an exportable potential of 60,000 tonnes. At the same time, the new American customs duties position Morocco in the minimum taxation of 10%, compared to 15 to 25% for Spain, Italy, Greece and Tunisia.
However, the vast majority of this production leaves in bulk, anonymously, without polyphenolic documentation. Folk Oils is building a direct, documented sector positioned in the most promising segment: high phenolic functional oil.
The world has no shortage of olive oil. There is a lack of oil of which we know the origin, the farmer and the 750 mg/kg of polyphenols, per batch.
Three settings. A unique positioning in the world.
