Antico Frantoio Vallone

What Antico Frantoio Vallone does

Antico Frantoio Vallone is a fourth-generation family-owned Sicilian olive mill founded in 1904 and based in Alcamo, Trapani. It produces premium extra virgin olive oil under the Angelicum master brand and operates a diversified direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce platform spanning 147+ products across olive oils, Sicilian wines, ceramics, fresh fruit, gift packages, and bomboniere (wedding favors). The business is structured as a family partnership (s.a.s.) between Francesco and Marcello Vallone, with eight employees, and serves primarily individual consumers with one named high-end B2B relationship (the Cerea brothers' three-Michelin-star Da Vittorio restaurant).

The company's core production technology centers on cold extraction ("a freddo") using continuous-cycle milling equipment, processing three indigenous Sicilian cultivars — Cerasuola, Nocellara del Belice, and Biancolilla — into multiple branded lines including Angelicum, Angelicum Lux, Angelicum Biologico (organic), Angelicum Summa, and Angelicum Gentle, alongside specialty varietals such as Nocellara Etnea, Biancolilla Centinara, and a limited-edition Aurum. The portfolio extends to gourmet Sicilian foods (caponata, pesto Trapanese, almond cream, pistachio pâté), wines (Bianco, Rosso, Rosato Vitello, sparkling Grillo), and adjacent lifestyle categories (ceramics, gift boxes), with traceability certifications including ISO 22005.

The business model is overwhelmingly DTC through a proprietary e-commerce site available in Italian and English, with tiered pricing from €9 small bottles up to €550 for 10-liter cans and €164 curated gift boxes, plus volume discounts (5% on 6+ bottles, 10% on 12+) and a 10%-off plus free-shipping plus free-samples first-order offer. The single named B2B account (Da Vittorio) functions primarily as a reputational anchor, and participation in the AddioPizzo anti-racketeering initiative provides differentiation within the Sicilian food market. No third-party marketplace presence, distributor agreements, or wholesale channels are disclosed.
