Where to Buy Authentic Amlou in Quebec and Canada?
Looking for where to buy authentic Moroccan amlou without having to compare dozens of brands whose origin and ingredients you don’t know? At Naturel Argania, amlou is prepared using the traditional Moroccan method — almonds, argan oil, and honey, with no additives — and is available in two simple ways: online, delivered throughout Canada, or directly in our store in Quebec City.
What Exactly Is Amlou?
Amlou (sometimes spelled hamlou) is a traditional spread from southern Morocco made with roasted almonds, pure argan oil, and honey. Its texture is similar to almond butter, but its flavor is unique: lightly roasted, naturally sweet, with the distinctive note of roasted argan oil. Traditionally served for breakfast with Moroccan bread (khobz), it pairs just as well with pancakes, toast, or even by the spoonful.
This is not an industrial product: the quality of amlou depends entirely on the quality of the argan oil used — a criterion that many generic brands fail to meet.

How to Recognize Quality Amlou?
Before buying amlou, regardless of the brand, here are the key things to check:
- Ingredient List — quality amlou should contain only almonds, argan oil, and honey (sometimes a pinch of salt). Be wary of versions with added vegetable oils or refined sugar.
- Origin of the Argan Oil — this is the ingredient that makes all the difference in terms of taste and benefits. High-quality, cold-pressed food-grade argan oil gives amlou a richer flavor and more antioxidants.
- Texture — authentic amlou is creamy but not runny; if it is too liquid, this can often indicate an excess of inexpensive oil used as a filler.
Our Amlou & Terroir Butter Varieties
The classic amlou is just the starting point. Naturel Argania offers a full range of terroir butters made with argan oil — from the traditional Moroccan recipe to indulgent maple, chocolate, and hazelnut versions — to vary the pleasures or create a personalized gift.
How to Enjoy Amlou?
- At Breakfast — spread on warm bread or pancakes. The warmth of the bread slightly melts the amlou and brings out the full aroma of roasted argan oil. A Moroccan classic, often enjoyed with mint tea.
- As a Snack — enjoyed by the spoonful with mint tea. Thanks to almonds and argan oil, amlou is nourishing and helps satisfy a small hunger between meals. A delicious break, with no refined sugar.
- As a Dessert — on fresh fruit or plain yogurt. It adds a creamy, slightly sweet touch to a simple and healthy dessert. Try it with figs or dates for a typically Moroccan touch.
- As a Gourmet Gift — in our gift boxes combining amlou, argan oil, and other Moroccan terroir products. An original and authentic gift idea, perfect for a birthday or special occasion. Each gift box offers the opportunity to discover several flavors in a single box.
