1. A spice mill part for a spice mill, said spice mill part comprising:
a housing at least partially comprising a plastic material, said housing configured to be rotatably connected to another spice mill part;
a receiving element is provided on the housing, in which a milling element, made from a ceramic material, is arranged,
the milling element being clamped in the receiving element in a force fit, by a compressive force which is directed essentially radially inwards, and acts on a closed outer bearing face of the milling element; and
the compressive force configured to on the outer bearing face of the milling element essentially along an entire circumference of the bearing face of the milling element.
 
18. A method for producing a spice mill part for a spice grinder, said method comprising:
producing a milling element comprising a ceramic material;
producing a housing with a receiving element for the milling element by a plastic injection molding process;
inserting the milling element into the receiving element, so that the milling element is clamped in the receiving element in a force fit by a compressive force directed essentially radially inwards, and acting on a closed outer bearing face of the milling element.
