Welcome to the Olive Oil Paradise!

For 4 generations, the Moulin Paradis has been pressing the different varieties of Gard olives to obtain a range of artisanal oils in blends and single varieties.

During your visit, the miller will share with you on video the secrets of the traditional oil production and will present the current stages of the development of this precious southern product.

It was in 1917 that the PARADIS Family took over a 16th century mill (1540) historically used to grind wheat and crush olives thanks to the hydraulic power of the Droude river which, until 1998, enabled the old millstone and the press to be operated.

Auguste Paradis relaunched the olive-growing activity in 1950 by modernizing the facilities, thus facilitating the extraction of the oil and the hard work of the miller.

In 1977, his son Roger strengthened production by planting olive trees, allowing the Mill to develop and acquire a certain reputation in the profession for the quality of its olive oils.

The production of olives, increasing over the years, encouraged Christophe, 4th generation of Milliers in the PARADIS Family, to create a second installation between Uzès and the Pont du Gard in the Commune of Saint-Maximin in 2011.

This is how the Moulin Paradis finally settled in Uzège a few kilometers from the Ducal City.

Today, these two production tools, combining tradition and new technologies, allow the Company to:

• Ensure the origin, traceability and quality of its 100% French oils
• Secure volumes and perpetuate the Domaine’s olive-growing activity
• Cope with increasingly large production (reduce the time between olive picking and oil extraction)
• Optimize harvest times to pick the olive at its right maturity
• Ensure a first cold pressing and obtain a very high quality extra virgin olive oil.

This constant concern for quality is regularly rewarded by various prizes including Gold medals at the Concours Général Agricole de PARIS, and this, since 1998.
