Romano Vincenzo & C. S.a.s.

Since 1959, Frantoio Romano Vincenzo in Bronte has mainly been involved in the transformation of olives into oil, both on behalf of third parties and on its own. The mill, in carrying out the activity for third parties, also takes care of the 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 olive 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 of a plant with an integral continuous extraction system entirely built in stainless steel and totally washable from batch to batch precisely to prevent mixing in the oil from one batch to 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 much smaller area, about 60%; it requires reduced manpower, in view of its high automatism; It has high productivity, cleaner machinery, with better overall quality oil production. From a continuous cycle, with the same quality of the milled olives, an oil with a spicier flavor is often obtained, with a greater load of polyphenols and, therefore, a greater endowment of natural antioxidants, more storable and healthy.
