Amlou: A Gourmet Treasure from Morocco

Amlou: A Gourmet Treasure from Morocco

Amlou is a Moroccan culinary specialty that combines tradition, flavors, and benefits. This delicacy made with almonds, argan oil, and honey is a staple of breakfasts and snacks in Moroccan homes. At Tiguemi, we've revisited this traditional recipe to offer modern and delicious versions: Amlou'Riginal, Pistachio, and Nutty Crunch.

What is Amlou?

Amlou is a spread made from three main ingredients: roasted almonds, argan oil, and honey. This blend gives it a creamy texture and a naturally sweet taste, while retaining exceptional nutritional value. Originating from the mountainous regions of Morocco, Amlou is traditionally prepared by hand by local artisans.

The Benefits of Amlou

Amlou is not only distinguished by its unique taste, but also by its numerous health benefits:

- Rich in nutrients: Almonds are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Argan oil, on the other hand, is known for its antioxidant properties and benefits for skin and hair.
- An ally for the heart: Thanks to its unsaturated fatty acid content, Amlou can help reduce cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health.
- Natural energy: Honey adds a touch of sweetness while providing a quick source of energy, ideal for starting the day or for a gourmet break.
