Swiss Pine Oil
Wildcrafted
2000m

Finest Origin - Highest Grade

These wild Swiss pines grow in the untouched nature of Tyrol, Austria at an altitude of over 2000m. This high alpine landscape has an ideal stimulating climate with seasonal temperature fluctuations, winds and dryness, which leads to a particularly concentrated and rich developement of valuable compounds and aromas in the trees, such as alpha- and beta-pinene.

The material, mostly damaged wood, is collected in the high altitudes by experienced farmers and brought to their own distillery in the valley. The branches with needles and the wood are used to produce the essential oil and distilled in a small stainless steel tank using the gentle process of steam distillation.

Swiss Pine

The Swiss pine belongs to the pine family (Pinaceae) and grows at altitudes of about 1200m to 2000m above sea level. The tree is known to grow up to 30 metres high and live up to 1000 years. Its soft and flexible dark green needles are 5-12cm long, and it produces small, upright cones which are purple to brown in colour. Due to the harsh conditions it endures, the Swiss pine tends to grow slowly. Aromatic compounds are found in its wood, twigs and needles.
