Fruit Producers' Union of the Bruche Valley

The press is an ancient tool designed to extract juice from grapes or other fruits through mechanical pressure.

Usually made of stone or wood, it embodies the artisanal techniques of winemaking or juice production that date back centuries.

Its operation relies on applying significant force to crush the fruits and collect the liquid, often within small farms or traditional vineyards. Today, although modern methods have largely replaced these devices, some old presses are preserved as heritage objects or used for educational purposes to illustrate the skills of the past.
