When out of nowhere in the desert an oasis of 300,000 olive trees, producing a golden nectar, springs up like magic you can really talk of a miracle. Optimal soil conditions, very pure water, high density of trees, a low yield rate with high-quality olives, the wind and the sun of the desert, all this gives birth to Desert Miracle, an ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil with 0.2° maximum acidity and a unique taste.
The strength caresses the senses.
Aroma > This delicately complex aroma takes in almonds, culinary herbs with a touch of basil, lemon and sweet banana. There is also a hint of woody hedgerows and wet grass.
Taste > Culinary herbs on the palate with sorrel, cucumber, red berry fruits and nuts. Very light bitterness but plenty of pepper which grows and then fades allowing the green herbs, nuts and sweet biscuits to return. The interesting after-taste takes in fudge and sweet banana with just a touch of hazelnut chocolate.
Style > Very sweet and delicate style of oil with a good burst of pepper.
Overall Assessment > This is an attractive and gently complex oil with a really sweet finish. Use it for general cooking, but particularly for desserts and baking.
Sensory Profile > Desert Miracle / Ultra-Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
A rich taste that matches well with all dishes.
Although quite flavorful, this Dahbia-Arbequina blend compliments rather than over-powers the foods it is served with, whether they are fresh or cooked vegetables, fishes, poultries, and even meats. Desert Miracle has a highly flavorful taste and distinctive peppery finish you won’t forget.

Atlas
Proud of my Italian oils I had a little reticence in trying a Moroccan oil. With my big surprise I found it really delicious. I used it raw, but I’ve to admit, it’s great for frying too. It has very hi smoke point that makes my ‘fritto misto’ lovely golden and crunchy. I highly recommend it!
Les Terroirs de Marrakech
I bought this oil as I was attracted by its elegant and unusual bottle. Such a precious container had to contain a very special product and I was right! The bottle on your table is a pleasure for your eyes and when you pour it, pervasive perfumes invites your dining companions to taste it and they feel privileged to savor such a rare nectar. My guests are special and I love being a perfect gracious hostess.
Desert Miracle
I discovered this great oil when looking for a good oil for my olive oil ice cream. It resulted to be the best one. Now I use it as a topping to add savory complexity to many of my sweet treats. Delicious!
