Olio Arkè e Natura di Diliberto S.E.M. & C. S.a.s.

Territory and identity

- Authentic taste of Sicily: the sun, the soil, the respect of the territory where our products are originate from; - Territory SICILY and typical indigenous Olives Varieties like “Cerasuola”, “Biancolilla"and "Moresca", expression of a Sicilian and authentic identity For over three generations the passion for olive oil production has characterized our farm, which devotedly searches out and selects the best olives to produce an extraordinary quality olive oil. Loam soils, sandy soils and chalky soils have been the inspiration for the creation of our 4 extra virgin olive olis: Arkè PGI SICILY, Arkè Bio, Arkè and Kora. Arkè Evoos keep the fingerprint of indigenous varieties expression of a Sicilian and authentic identity . Through our blends and the single variety oils we tell you the biodiversity of our hinterland (center of SICILY), where each exvoo expresses part of our history.

History and Technology

family tradition (Our family company has been producing high quality extra virgin olive oil and flavoured olive oils for over three generations in the centre of SICILY) and technology (storage in stainless steel tanks at constant temperature of 18° C away from light and heat and topped with nitrogen inert gas minimizing oxidation. Secondly, we have introduced a new device in the bottling phase , we add nitrogen in the last part of bottling phase filling the bottle's neck with nitrogen, it contributes to prolong the olive oil durability keeping the freshness unaltered). Since October 2020 the company has implemented a new Olive Oli Mill aimed at achieving multiple qualitative and productive aspects. One of the innovative feature that has impact on the Olive Oil quality is the CRUSCHER. Its new inner geometry has the power to extract more polyphenols without increasing the temperature of olive paste. Another innovative feature of the plant is the centrifugal extractor .It represents the last evolutionary step of centrifugal extraction systems with its technology in two phase running, significantly reduce the consumption of water. This innovative technology since there is no need to add water when processing the olive drupes has several advantages. It has allowed us: - to further improve the quality of our extra-virgin olive oils, obtaining oils that are richer in polyphenols (antioxidants), more intense, healthier and with a greater resistance to oxidation, therefore longer lasting oils; - cutting down on the use of natural resourse of water has allowed us to significantly reduce the environmental impact (with a saving of potable water of 90%). - to reduce the production of wastewater .This new technology is capable of converting wastewater pollutants from mills in valuable sustainable energy resources Arkè is aware that the territory is its most important and unique resource. Our production chain has become more eco-friendly thanks this technology. Lastly we have add a separator machine able to process pomace obtained from two-phase system and able to recover : - Hazel/karnel has a high heat value, is an excellent woody fuel, is used to heat the facilities; - The pulp/flesh, instead, is sent to a nearby Biogas power station/plants for the renewable energy production. We have also implemented 3 photovoltaic installations totally integrated with our facilities and are capable of satisfying more than 100% of the whole production cycle’s energy requirements).
