The Golden Green Harvest
From Styrian Pumpkin to Liquid Gold
In the beautiful hills of Styria, Austria, generations of farmers have grown the Styrian pumpkin a variety known for its remarkable hull-less seeds. These dark green seeds, known locally as "Kürbiskerne," have been Austria's closely guarded secret for centuries. When pressed, they produce an oil so special that it's been given a protected designation, much like fine wine.
We'd like to think people who buy our oil are just as protective of it!
The Science of Our Cold-Pressed Pumpkin Seed
Preserving Delicate Nutrients
Pumpkin seed oil's fragile compounds require thoughtful handling. Heat and light pollution can destroy the nutrients that make this oil so beneficial.
Our Method:
- Temperature: Never exceeding 35°C—preserving vitamin E and antioxidants
- Pressure: Slow, steady force that honors the seed's integrity
- Environment: Oxygen-free pressing to prevent oxidation
- Result: The authentic taste of Austrian tradition
Each batch yields less oil than high-heat methods, but the flavor and nutrition remain intact.
