L’Arancino dello Stretto: l’azienda

L’Arancino dello Stretto is the brand of the company “L’Ancora,” one of the businesses within the FRANZA Spa Group situated in Messina, Italy.
Since 1968, L’Ancora provides for gastronomy services, bars and pastry shops: since 2020 each ship sailing across the Strait of Messina (both private and FS-operated) offers a variety of their rotisserie products.

In 2019, the company launched the brand L’arancino dello Stretto which provides catering services onboard their ships sailing across the Strait of Messina. The company produces millions and millions of arancini every year to meet the demand of millions of passengers.

The production facility spans 1000 square meters and employs over 50 full-time workers who make arancini mainly in a traditional way.
Every day, they produce thousands of arancini following ten different recipes.
Recently, the company has built a new lab in order to ensure maximum efficiency and increased production capacity. In fact, they installed new pieces of equipment that guarantee optimal rice cooking in the right time.

The challenge for L’arancino dello Stretto

The company needed cookers that could manage large batches of product while guaranteeing consistent high-quality levels and respecting the production times.
L’Arancino dello Stretto then contacted its distributor (OVERT SRL), who immediately proposed Cucimix by Firex.
L’Arancino dello Stretto comments “We trusted them blindly and immediately purchased one unit. From the first use, Cucimix proved to be extremely precise and capable of producing the required quantities, always ensuring the desired quality and respecting the cooking times. The rice is perfectly cooked in the right time”.

What our customers say

Thanks to Cucimix, the company can program and save multi-step recipes, with the certainty that the finished product meets expectations.
Even when produced in large quantities, the rice maintains the same quality and the machine is extremely user-friendly.
The outstanding results even convinced L’Arancino dello Stretto to purchase already another Firex cooker.
Today, L’Arancino dello Stretto is ready to face both the national and international markets. In fact, it has started selling in Italy and also abroad in the HORECA and Food Service sectors.


Carmelo Cutrì – CEO of L’Arancino delle Stretto “I have tried the arancino made with Cucimix: it’s just perfect!”
