Targanine is a Moroccan grouping of women's cooperatives based in Agadir that markets argan oil, honey and other local products. According to the website, the Targanine economic interest group (GIE) was set up in 2003 by four cooperatives as the first such structure in the Souss-Massa region. Four more cooperatives joined in 2007; today the GIE unites 6 cooperatives, more than 500 women members and 65 employees. Its main product is argan oil, with honey as a separate line.
The range includes argan honey, euphorbia honey, orange blossom honey, thyme honey, thistle honey. Targanine honey comes from the hives of the GIE member cooperatives; the website says it is harvested in line with organic certification requirements. The varieties are named after the plant: argan, euphorbia, orange, thyme and thistle.
Why this matters to you: Targanine sells cooperative honey from one region under the plant name, so the label tells you both the place and the nectar source.
