Trapiche refers to a type of mill constructed with wooden rollers designed to extract juice from various fruits. Historically, these mills were primarily used for processing olives; however, since the Middle Ages, they have also been utilized extensively for extracting juice from sugar cane.
The term is also applied to describe the specific location where such a mill is situated. This can refer specifically to the workshop area or, more broadly, to the entire plantation where the milling process takes place.
