Arkè Bio represents Arkè's diamond point. It's cultivated in reddish, ferrous, sandy soils that give elegant and excellently balanced flavours. It is obtained from organic farming of olive groves without using harmful chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, etc) fully respecting the environment and the health of the consumer. For this reason we incorporate natural fertilizer, seeding fava beans between the rows of plants and digging them into the soil as green compost.
