Botanical name: Its Latin name is Cupressus Sempervirens.
The cypress is a tall tree that exceeds 20 meters. The name of the tree comes from the compound kyo meaning I swell and parisos meaning isometer and is due to the fact that its growth is symmetrical. According to another theory, the tree was worshipped in Cyprus, from where it took its name (Cuprus> Cupresus).
It was dedicated to Pluto, the god of Hades. According to the legend, a young man from Kea called Kyparissos, who when he died of grief for the loss of his beloved deer, asked Apollo to keep the memory of his grief immortal, the God transformed him into a cypress.
It is found naturally in the regions of Asia Minor, Iran and Greece, but it is also cultivated as an ornamental plant throughout southern Europe.
Extraction Method
The essential oil of cypress comes from steam distillation of its stems and needles and has a spicy, herbal, fresh and pure aroma. Distillation is a delicate process requiring experience and constant supervision in order to obtain a high-quality oil. Our chemists and perfumers undertake this delicate process to obtain high quality essential oils. During the steam distillation process, steam passes through the plant material. The combination of heated steam and gentle pressure causes the essential oil to be released from microscopic protective sacs flooding the air with the most beautiful and exquisite natural scents.
Our equipment ensures the best quality of essential oil. It takes 100 kg of herbs to make 1 lt of essential oil. We produce Dittany essential oil in a worldwide exclusivity, as well as a wide range of rare essential oils from flowers and herbs in our distillery in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. An “essencier” or separator collects the floral water or hydrosol and the essential oil. The difference in density between the two liquids makes it easy to separate the essential oil from the floral water.
