This old mill is out of service. Little return 50 years earlier… 40 kg of olives are deposited on the stone base to be mixed with about 4 litres of hot water. With blindfolded eyes, a donkey or a little slug causes the 150 kg mineral to grind the olives. The mixture is then deposited in traps in braided fins. Stacked, the traps are compressed by a lever system. The oil thus obtained ends in terracotta jars.

Toujane ancienne, petit village déserté par les touristes, mérite cependant de s'y arrêter, pour ses paysages à couper le souffle et, si vous arrivez à vous faire présenter le propriétaire de l'ancien moulin à huile, il vous fera faire le tour des installations en vous expliquant le circuit complet de l'olive, depuis son arrivé en sacs au moulin, à son départ en jarres sous forme d'huile. Si le vieux moulin ne fonctionne plus, un autre est toujours opérationnel au centre du village de Toujane. Demandez Hedi Hasnaoui et il vous le fera visiter.
