There are several major distinctions. 1) The cedar nut oil bearing "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" brand comes exclusively from wild-harvested Siberian cedar nuts (Siberian pine nuts) - the most nutritious and medicinally valuable cedar nuts in the world. In comparison, other cedar nut oils are usually pressed from the Italian pignolia nuts, which are not nearly as potent and are often harvested from trees growing in plantations. 2) Our cedar nut oil is extra virgin (100% cold pressed from freshly shelled raw cedar nuts), whereas most cedar nut oils on the market are either not cold pressed or even pressed from roasted (!) cedar nuts, which significantly decreases the oil value. 3) Finally, "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" cedar nut oil is the only cedar nut oil available on the market anywhere in the world pressed with wooden presses in accordance with traditional techniques described in Vladimir Megre's life-changing book "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" (available from our on-line Store). In contrast, all other cedar nut oils are pressed using steel presses, which immediately degrades them (contact with steel oxidizes some of the cedar nut oil's most important ingredients such as vitamins, and is known to remove the 'life force' from the oil).
