Frequently Asked Questions
What is culinary argan oil?
Culinary argan oil is made from roasted argan kernels and cold-pressed to extract a rich, nutty oil used in Moroccan cooking. It’s different from cosmetic argan oil, which is pressed from raw, unroasted kernels and used for skincare.
Can I cook with argan oil?
Yes, but it's best used as a finishing oil rather than for high-heat cooking. Its delicate flavour and nutrients are preserved when drizzled over food after cooking or added to dressings, dips, or marinades.
What does it taste like?
Culinary argan oil has a warm, roasted, slightly nutty taste with a smooth texture. It adds depth and richness to both sweet and savoury dishes.
Is it healthy?
Very! It’s high in unsaturated fatty acids (like omega 6 & 9), antioxidants, and vitamin E — all of which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and provide long-lasting energy.
How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. Avoid exposing it to heat or direct sunlight to preserve freshness and flavour.
Is your argan oil 100% pure?
Yes — our culinary argan oil is 100% pure, cold-pressed from roasted Moroccan argan kernels with no additives or blends.
Is it suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets?
Yes! Tichka Culinary Argan Oil is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and made from just one ingredient.
How long does it last once opened?
When stored correctly, an opened bottle of culinary argan oil can last up to 6–12 months. Use within this time to enjoy its full flavour and nutritional value.
What’s the difference between cosmetic and culinary argan oil?
Cosmetic argan oil is cold-pressed from raw kernels and used for skincare and haircare. Culinary argan oil is made from roasted kernels and specifically intended for consumption, offering a toasted flavour.
Where is your oil made?
Our oil is handcrafted in Morocco using traditional roasting and cold-pressing techniques passed down through generations.
