The extraction of oil from the nucleus of the fruit is hard. The outer shell is an obstacle to extracting the oil because it is soft and adhered to the nucleus. In the form of waste to collect and extract seeds from them because the goats digested without their outer shell because they are indigestible, while the nucleus remains polished without crust. However, after the analysis showed that the argan oil extracted from the fruits eaten by goats is contaminated with a germ called Brucella, the method was discontinued.

Argan oil is now extracted manually, requiring a hard physical effort by specialized women to extract it to break the nucleus and extract the amygdala, and the nucleus of the pillars is 15 times harder than the nucleus of the nuts. After the kernel is broken, the wood husks are removed and the almonds are heated or baked on the fire and then grinded with hand-made flours to grind the staff. The crushed dough is squeezed by hand to extract the oil, in the case of argan oil used for cooking. In the case of fresh argan oil, which is used for beautification, the almond is not heated and freshly grinded to extract oil from them.
