Huilerie et Moulin EL BOUSSAADANI is a family owned and operated business. Three generations of our family have gathered around this project, each of them applying their complementary skills to create the best possible product and serve the community.
The Olive Press is the very first olive mill in Tissa Taounate, north-east of Fez and is the brain child of a great man, Ahmed El Boussaadani. The Olive Press is now known as a well run establishment. We are committed to producing the highest quality of olive oil while serving the pressing needs of the community.
Whether we are producing our house oil with olives from our lands, crushing olives for local estates, or accepting olives from small growers in the community, we have a consistent mission. We are running a business which promotes the growing of quality fruit, the quality care of that fruit, the quality harvest, the milling, the racking and the storing.
Ahmed EL BOUSSAADANI built The Olive Press in 2010, in the heart of his family land. Pursuing the tradition of quality olive oil in the region, he's building a legacy for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We are striving to fulfil his vision by making quality products and service that motivate us every day.
We take pride in sharing the process and tradition of olive oil production with our community and our worldwide customers. From the sun, to the soil, to the branch, to the bottle, to you...
Morocco enjoys a privileged position at the intersection of 3 distinct blocks: the Mediterranean sea in the north, the Atlantic ocean in the west (total coast of 3446 km) and the Sahara desert in the south – east. The Atlas Mountains represent a natural barrier between the sea and saharan environmental influences. The territory of Morocco is 715.000 km² .
With its ecological, ladscape, and climate diversity, Morocco stores a rich biodiversity with a large numbers of ecosystems and rich flora. This counts for over 4500 species of higher plants (with 135 plant families, 940 genera and over 600 plant taxa as endemic), with about 200 species considered as rare or threatened species. Indeed, Morocco constitutes one of the most important areas of diversity in Mediterranean medium.
Taounate province extends on a f 5585 km², the total arable area is 356 689 ha (with only 2.6 % irrigated). The current population of this province totals with 632 000 inhabitants dispersed through more than 1600 villages (douars) including nearly 70905 farms according to the 1996 census. The province of Taounate is located in the centre north part of Morocco and its economy is based primarily on crop and animal productions.
This region is characterised by a mountainous topography. Soil nature is highly variable, with dominance of clay texture, and highly eroded. Taounate province is known mainly as:
The first zone located at the North of Ourgha river is characterized by a broken relief and important precipitations that may exceed 1000mm per year, which enables a permanent vegetative cover made up mainly of forests and fruity plantations dominated by the olive-trees. The second zone located at the South of Ourgha River, characterized by a flat relief (plateaux) with precipitations that vary between 400 and 600 mm per year leading to a biotope very favourable to annual crops. Outzagh community and Tissa sites are located in this zone.
