Amlou Butter With Peanut And Argan – 1Kg

Amlou butter is like the Moroccan Nutella or peanut butter traditionally handmade with grounded peanut, honey, and argan oil. This gourmet dessert is ultra-healthy and nutritious and will make your taste buds travel from north to south exploring a myriad of flavors and textures: creamy, slightly firm, salty, sweet and umami (savory) notes that come together towards the end to create the singularity that is Amlou butter.

The origins of this dish can be traced back several centuries when Berber communities migrated south into the greater Morocco region. You may have heard it referred to as ‘the black gold of Morocco’ due to its scarcity in comparison to other crops such as cotton and wheat. Peanut was once king but has now been overtaken by Morocco’s newfound darling at almost 2 times the value on the international market — argan. Although still an under-appreciated crop in many parts of the world, this small desert tree bears nuts once proclaimed sacred for their exceptional properties of both nutritional and cosmetic value.
