When the Arkè family first arrived in Sicily in 1945, they planted an olive tree. After all the destruction of the Second World War, it was a symbol of peace, of hope, and of a new beginning for the family. They’ve been growing olive trees ever since – quietly learning, growing, and discovering just how much their humble fruits have to offer. Which, of course, includes the traditions and techniques of turning olives into olive oil. In 2001, the family started on a new journey. Four cousins, born into these traditions, founded Arkè, with the simple mission of bringing fresh, authentic, natural olive oil to the whole world.
