About us

Since 1959, the Frantoio Romano Vincenzo in Bronte has mainly dealt with the transformation of olives into oil, both for third parties and on its own. In carrying out the activity for third parties, the oil mill also takes care of consultancy relating to the cultivation and harvesting phases aimed at improving the quality of the oil, directing producers to obtain an increasingly high-quality extra virgin oil. over the years the company has always used cutting-edge technologies in the olive processing process. In 2007, important investments were made with the installation on our premises of a plant with a continuous integral type extraction system entirely built in stainless steel and totally washable from batch to batch precisely to prevent there being mixtures between the oils one batch after another so as not to modify the organoleptic qualities of the oil of the individual producers.

• The advantages of continuous systems compared to a traditional single pressure system of the same working capacity are: it occupies a significantly smaller surface area, approximately 60%;
• It requires little manpower, given its high automatism;
• It has high productivity, cleaner machinery, producing better overall quality oil.

From a continuous cycle, with the same quality of pressed olives, an oil with a spicier flavor is often obtained, with a greater load of polyphenols and, therefore a greater supply of natural antioxidants, more long-lasting and healthier.
