Moroccan Food & Facts

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

We thought it would be fun to introduce a new honey and olive oil Master by sharing a few interesting facts:

  • 1375 picholine olives go into a bottle of Alili Morocco olive oil.
  • Olive is ubiquitous in literature. For Roman poet Horace “olives, endive and smooth mallows provide sustenance”.
  • Honey dates back to 2100 B.C. at least, mentioned by Babylonians. Honey has been used to make cement, in polishing and varnishing works, for medicinal purposes and as a currency.

This provider of super healthy Moroccan food deserved our attention and got some from Florence Fabricant, the celebrated New York Times Food writer, who gushed about their honeys, noting the floral notes and distinct flavor profile: “earthy,…unusual,… floral”.

After making you travel to Morocco and salivate, it’s time you laid an eye on this gorgeous collection of Mediterranean food here.
