Arillo describes with its aromas and flavors our Tonda Iblea and Nocellara Etnea olives along the banks bathed by the Dirillo river, from which our farm takes its name. The once navigable Diirillo river was commonly called Achates in Roman times due to the presence of the agate stone, but took the name of Wadi Ikrilu (Acrille river) in the Arab era. Akrille was a Greek settlement in the territory of Chiaramonte Gulfi, located a few hundred meters from the center of our corporate base. From Wadi Ikrilu, from which Cianu Ariddu derives, we created our Arillo, Cetrala and Nuciddara oil, a special tribute to our lands.
Green color, with yellow reflections. The “Arillo” oil is characterized by an intense fruit aroma with a strong smell of green tomato, oregano and artichoke. After gently spraying the palate with its gentle artichoke, it releases a delicate bitterness with moderate spiciness which gradually grows long and balanced with a September almond aftertaste.
