Manufacturing a Cedar Nut Oil in Taiga forest's Cedar House
It
is made of pine kernels, grown on cedar trees, far away from cities in a pure,
environmentally friendly place, remote area – the Siberian taiga forest,
village of Kandaurovo. To preserve the special
energy of the oil, the entire manufacturing process is done manually, slowly,
and in accordance with ancient technologies. To comply with traditions
and achieve a high-quality product any contact with metal must be avoided.
Hence, we extract the oil using wooden equipment only.
We
believe that, to achieve oil of excellent quality, great attention to detail in
each stage is important – from collecting the nuts to filling the bottles.
Here
is how we do it.
Step 1 – Collecting the cones.
We
collect cedar cones manually, in our own forest quarter of 127 hectares, which
the state has leased to us for long-term rent.
Step 2 – Separating the nuts from the cones.
To
preserve the valuable energy of the oil, it should be made in a calm
atmosphere, with special attitude, and positive thoughts.
Step 3 – Separating the kernel from the nut.
Through
all stages of production, the oil comes into contact with natural materials
only. The wooden equipment we use allows the product to breathe.
Step 4 – Sorting the nuts.
It
is important to sort the nuts manually, by the hands of a professional. Local
people from our countryside are living in the taiga for all their lives and
they know exactly how to determine bad kernels better than any technology.
Step 5 – Pressing the nuts.
The
nut is put into linen bags for pressing and the oil is poured into glassware.
In the process, we use the help of a manual wooden press.
Step 6 – Bottling the oil.
After
extraction, the oil is immediately poured into bottles to save its most
valuable elements. This results in forming a natural sediment which is a sign
of good quality.
