A little history……

 
     
     
The moulin's history began in 1904,
when Jules Ramade, a wholesaler in colonial foodstuffs, bought a small mill (moulin in French) in Nyons, which he modernised by investing in a granite millstone, presses and a wooden settling tank to separate the oil from water.
His business lasted until the terrible frosts of 1956, which led to the mill's closure..
 

En 1971, Jacques Ramade, Jule's grandson, quit his job as a notary's clerk to start the business again. The mill was reopened as Jacques Ramade developed his own production of oil and olives, which he markets nationally along with tapenades (savoury spreads made with pureed olives). .

Upon his death, his daughter, also touched by the olive virus, took over the mill with her mother's help. Today she is one of the rare women to produce olive oil as she continues her ancestors' work.
