Amlou – Roasted Almond Spread with Argan Oil & Honey by Safeya
A beloved specialty of Morocco’s Amazigh community, Amlou is a traditional spread made from roasted almonds, argan oil, and honey. It's generally smooth, nutty and slightly sweet from the honey.
Traditionally served at breakfast or alongside tea, Amlou is perfect spread on fresh bread or toast, drizzled over baghrir (Moroccan pancakes) or msemen (Moroccan skillet breads). The distinctive flavor of argan oil is a key component of this spread. Many can’t resist eating it straight from the spoon!
Please note as with all-natural Amlou, separation of oil and almonds is normal - it's a sign that it's free from preservatives or stabilizers. To enjoy, simply stir thoroughly with a spoon or butter knife to restore its smooth, creamy texture before tasting.
Amlou’s consistency can vary naturally, ranging from silky and pourable like tahini to denser and more spoonable like a nut butter. This particular Amlou falls right in the middle - smooth and medium-bodied, easy to stir and spread without being overly liquid or overly firm.
