Yes, when it's culinary argan oil. ARLO is cold pressed from roasted argan nuts in Morocco's Souss Valley and sold as food. It's USDA Organic, Kosher and a single ingredient. Only buy argan oil that is sold as food.

Yes. ARLO is a finishing oil first, so drizzle it on just before serving to get the most flavor. It can also go in the pan (smoke point around 420°F). For high-heat cooking, cook with any oil and finish with ARLO.

ARLO is at its best for 2 years from the bottling date printed on the bottle ("PD: MM/DD/YYYY"). Close the cap after each use and keep the bottle away from the stove.

It's also happy in the pan (smoke point ~420°F) when you want to cook with it. Find ideas in our recipes: https://enjoyarlo.com/blogs/recipes, or follow @enjoyarlo on Instagram and TikTok.

Culinary argan oil comes from the nut of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), a rare and ancient tree native to Morocco that takes 30 to 50 years to fully mature. The oil is traditionally handcrafted by Berber women in fair-trade cooperatives, where they carefully roast and press the argan nuts to extract the rich, nutty oil. These cooperatives preserve ancestral techniques while empowering women with sustainable livelihoods. Our oil is 100% organic, ethically sourced, and certified to meet the highest international standards for purity, quality, and sustainability.

100% Moroccan made: ARLO culinary argan oil is cold pressed in Morocco's Souss Valley, near Agadir.

All of ARLO’s Culinary Argan oils are 100% plant-based, vegan, gluten free and cruelty-free.

Yes. ARLO is certified USDA Organic and Kosher. You can see both on our product page.

Culinary argan oil smoke points is ~420 degrees F which is higher than olive oil that has a smoke point of ~375 degrees F. 

One important thing to remember is that change will occur with time: all culinary argan oil begins to degrade, and so the smoke point will begin to lower gradually over time.  

Argan oil stands out not only for its rich, nutty flavor and nutritional profile but also for its versatility in the kitchen. It shines as a finishing oil, and with a smoke point around 420°F (216°C) it can also handle sautéing. Unlike many others, culinary argan oil also offers the added benefit of being cold-pressed and traditionally harvested, preserving its natural antioxidants and depth of flavor.
