A method of producing a liquid extract and/or a press juice characterized by comprising feeding a food to be extracted and/or pressed into a mill, adding a solvent into the mill immediately after finely milling and/or simultaneously with finely milling, thus extracting and/or pressing useful food component(s) into the solvent, and then removing the extraction residue and/or the pressing residue by using a continuous solid/liquid separator to thereby continuously carry out solid/liquid separation. La présente invention a trait à un procédé de production d'un extrait liquide et/ou d'un jus pressé caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend la mise à disposition d'un aliment destiné à l'extraction et/ou au pressage dans un broyeur, l'ajout d'un solvant dans le broyeur immédiatement après un broyage fin et/ou simultanément avec un broyage fin, permettant ainsi l'extraction et/ou le pressage du/des constituant(s) alimentaire(s) utile(s) dans le solvant, suivie du retrait du résidu d'extraction et/ou du résidu de pressage au moyen d'un séparateur liquide/solide pour ainsi réaliser en continu la séparation solide/liquide.
