Amlu (Arabic: أملو ; Berber languages: ⴰⵎⵍⵓ), also spelled as amlou, is a spread of Moroccan cuisine. It consists of argan oil, almonds and honey. The almonds are toasted, which are then crushed and kneaded with honey and argan oil.[1] Amlou is usually served for breakfast or afternoon tea with pancakes and pastries.[2]
Amlu is one of the multiple uses of Argan oil. In Shilha cuisine, argan oil plays the role usually held by olive oil in other parts of the Maghreb.[1]
