Essaouira Countryside Argan Oil Cooperative Workshop

- Join local women at an argan cooperative near Essaouira and take part in every step of oil making, from nuts right through to a bottle of oil. - Your guided visit begins inside the cooperative, where women explain how argan nuts arrive for processing and move through each room. - Crack each nut by hand, grind the kernels, and help press the paste into pure argan oil, then capture souvenir photos of your time in the workshop. - Step outside to see the argan groves of the Essaouira countryside, 25 km from town, sip tea with the women, and learn culinary versus cosmetic uses.
