Although it originated in persia, the cypress plant is also a common sight in mediterranean landscapes. in morocco, cypress is often grown in hedges to protect cropland. the hedges are periodically pruned, providing a raw material that is transformed into an essential oil by biolandes maroc. the distillation of cypress clippings is also a tradition in provence. a farmer located near our valréas site has developed certified organic cypress. the young plants are harvested by machine and yield a very "leafy" raw material. after cutting, they sprout again and regrow. biolandes' organic (ecocert ec) essential oil of cypress is a sustainable product with a significant availability.
