Extraction process :

The alaska cedar, or Nootka cypress, can grow up to 20 to 40 meters tall where cultivated. The propagation of the culture of this tree is done by cuttings but is generally done naturally as it is a rather invasive species. The tree has reached maturity and is ready to be grown after one year of cultivation. It can be grown at any time of the year.
After trimming the tree trunks at their base, they are gathered in a large receptacle and brought to the factory. There, the trunks are cut and crushed into chips before being extracted for several hours by steam distillation under pressure.
The essential oil of Alaska cedarwood is collected by decanting oil and water.
