It is performed by berber women.<\/li><li>For culinary oil, the kernels are softly roasted to bring out the nutty smell and taste of the argan oil.<\/li><li>The kernels are pressed to expel pure unfiltered argan oil. (by traditional method or by modern mechanical machines.) The oil is then put to decantation in vessels for about 14 days.<\/li><\/ol><blockquote><p>At Fatima\u2019s Garden, we exclusively use the mechanical cold-pressure extraction method since it\u2019s the one that preserves the benefits of the Argan oil the most<\/p><\/blockquote><p>After decantation, heavy solids settle down at the bottom of the Vessel. The clear oil is then further filtered to take away the light sediments that stay suspended in the oil.
