Arkè Extra Virgin Olive Oil · 이탈리아

Arkè is the first born among our oils. It is so genuinely bound to the territory that it becomes an expression of its identity. It is produced from mid-mixture loam soils that give intensity and strength. These areas are near the towns of Caltanissetta, San Cataldo, Serradifalco and Delia. Arkè keeps the fingerprint of indigenous varieties like “Tonda Iblea”, “Nocellara dell’Etna”, “Giarraffa” perfectly set in a blend of a strong character. Varieties: Nocellara Nostrana 70% , Giarraffa 15%, Santagatese 15%. Production Area: San Cataldo, Serradifalco, Delia, Caltanissetta (central Sicily). Altitude: 600 m a.s.l. Harvest: hand-picking mid-way through the ripening period in order to preserve and exalt the antioxidant and aromatic characteristics, from October 15th to November 20th. Crushing: continuous cycle cold-milling process within 12 hours from the harvest. Storage: stainless steel silos topped with nitrogen inert gas and stored in temperature controlled rooms (18 °C). Organoleptic Notes: The olfactive density is characterized by a definite nuance of green tomato accompanied by an intense sensation of freshly cut grass; vivid remembrances of aubergine and golden apple follow. At taste, it results simply magnificent with its great elegance and equilibrium. Well balanced in its bitter and spicy sensations, perfectly calibrated to support an agile and satisfying structure. The after taste is harmonious and lingering.
