The Oscar family maintains the tenacity and passion of farmers, using the most modern pressing technologies to produce high-quality DOP extra virgin olive oil, unchanged over time and unique like its territory.

The journey, the search, the path
The East meets the West.
Timeless and spaceless stories
dimensions that, caressing the soul,
bring images of scents and wonders.

In our mill, the olive grinding is still considered the most important event of the year, and those who have had the chance to witness this event will have preserved a wealth of emotions.

The scent of olives opening under the large granite wheels, the patient wait filled with friendly chats and a few good glasses of wine, are moments of shared joy that accompany us until the emergence of the first precious New Oil, green, intense, and fragrant, the first result of great efforts. These are the moments that motivate us today to continue our work with satisfaction, rich in history, love, and passion for nature.

Frantoio Oscar, always attentive to innovations, today boasts some of the most modern machinery for the production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. In addition to hospitality, hygiene (HACCP system), and spacious unloading and storage areas, the milling service ensures maximum flexibility to meet the diverse needs of customers.
The mill, with its continuous cycle Amenduni processing line with 2-phase extraction, has been specially designed for equal processing, capable of meeting the needs of both small and large olive growers in record time.

  • Home collection of olives
  • Quality control service for Extra Virgin Olive Oil with acidity and peroxide analysis
  • Bottling and labelling for third parties
  • Sale of cans and bottles for the transport and storage of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Tastings and guided tours of the mill during the processing period
  • Packaging: the company has a semi-automatic line for bottling oil in various formats, and customization with graphic design and label printing under the customer’s brand is also possible
  • The available phyto-depuration plant (patented by Isrim in 2001) represents a valid alternative for the disposal of wastewater (AV) and biomass production, providing olive sector operators with an efficient, economical, eco-compatible, and easy-to-use disposal system

The native Itrana variety, the undisputed protagonist of Oscar Frantoio’s heritage, has a dual aptitude: it is known by names such as “Oliva di Gaeta,” “Oliva Grossa,” “Trana,” “Esperia,” and others. It is widespread in Lazio, particularly in the province of Latina. The trees show good development even in less favorable pedoclimatic environments (steep slopes) and are decidedly vigorous in more fertile soils. The canopy is well-rounded and dense, with pendulous fruiting branches. The Itrana is self-incompatible, and free pollination ensures high fruit set depending on the dominant winds in the production area of “Colline Pontine” extra virgin olive oil.

Olives intended for direct consumption, through the natural fermentation technique in brine known as the “trana” system, are delivered to consumers as white Itrana olives between November and December, while fully matured black Gaeta olives are delivered between March and April.

Following improvements in extraction techniques, given the advantageous conditions and high versatility of this variety, the production of high-quality oils began, quickly gaining significant recognition in the local and national scene. These successes have been certified with two of the highest recognitions that the MIPAAF (Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forests). provides for national agri-food designations of origin: the “Oliva di Gaeta DOP” and the “DOP Colline Pontine.”

The extra virgin olive oil DOP Colline Pontine is obtained from olive groves with the following varieties: Itrana from 50% to 100%, Frantoio and Leccino up to 50%, and other varieties up to 10%, provided they do not alter the product’s characteristics. The Gaeta DOP olive has been designated for table olives, derived from the Itrana cultivar, declared compliant with the production regulations following checks by the Control Body appointed by MiPAAF(Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forests). The DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) represents a connection and a story with the territory, the result of centuries of cultivation developed around the Gaeta Olive, and is a pride for our entire territory, embodying its essence and pride.

Natural fuel for stoves and boilers economical and with exceptional yield. Olive trees, among the oldest plants widespread in most Italian regions, can provide us with an ecological fuel, invaluable in the fight against pollution: virgin olive pomace pellets. The pomace pellet is a biofuel obtained directly from pomace, a by-product of olive processing, made using a separator through an exclusively mechanical process. An excellent alternative to traditional pellets, pomace pellets are a natural, ecological biomass with an excellent price-to-calorific value ratio. They can be used indiscriminately for residential heating, especially for families who have chosen to install multi-fuel systems, as well as for industrial use (greenhouses, bakeries, etc.). 

The advantages

 

  • It is cost-effective due to its high calorific value.
  • It is eco-sustainable as it is separated through mechanical processes.
  • It is economical and produces low amounts of smoke and ash when burned.
  • It is practical due to its minimal storage space requirements.
  • It is durable: the biomass is less susceptible to mold, given its low moisture content.

F i t o d e p u r a z i o n e

Nei paesi del bacino del mediterraneo, lo smaltimento delle acque di vegetazione (AV) provenienti dalla molitura delle olive costituisce un problema rilevante a causa delle alte quantità di refluo prodotto in un breve periodo (tre mesi), degli alti carichi organici (cod 50-125 g/l), della salinità e della presenza di composti fenolici. L’impianto di fitodepurazione proposto (brevettato da Isrim nel 2001) rappresenta una valida alternativa per lo smaltimento delle AV e per la produzione di biomassa. Il fitodepuratore mira a fornire agli operatori del settore olivicolo un sistema di smaltimento efficiente, economico, ecocompatibile e di facile utilizzo; è inoltre possibile ottenere un ritorno economico in termini di produzione di biomassa, materiale vivaistico, humus, etc. L’impianto di fitodepurazione per le AV sfrutta i meccanismi naturali di degradazione microbica sia aerobica che anaerobica, nonché la capacità delle piante di stimolare, tramite gli essudati radicali, la popolazione rizosferica, ossia la comunità microbica che colonizza la regione del suolo prossima alle radici. Il processo prevede: una prima degradazione del refluo oleario, operata da microrganismi, nei mesi compresi tra Novembre e Marzo, periodo di produzione del refluo, durante il quale le piante si trovano in riposo vegetativo; una seconda fase che ha inizio con la ripresa vegetativa delle piante che, tramite la stimolazione operata dagli essudati radicali, aumenta l’attività metabolica dei microrganismi. Grazie all’uso di piante appartenenti a famiglie che si sono dimostrate in prove sperimentali resistenti all’azione fitotossica del refluo e che hanno dimostrato in presenza dello stesso un adeguato sviluppo fisiologico, la comunità microbica del suolo viene stimolata in maniera mirata. Si ottiene così la degradazione del carico organico e della componente fenolica presente nel refluo oleario e la sua trasformazione in sostanza umidificata e composti assimilabili dalla pianta.
