A QUICK GUIDE
From our fields.
With a sense of place.
Our oil pumpkins grow at the foot of Riegersburg Castle. Our trusted local oil mill regularly processes fresh batches of seeds.
What does PGI mean?
Protected Geographical Indication (PGI, or g.g.A. in German) stands for verified origin and production. Each white-and-green seal carries an individual control number.
How is the flavour created?
The seeds are dried, ground, roasted and pressed, developing their distinctive nutty flavour and delicate roasted notes.
How should I store it?
Store tightly closed and upright at room temperature, away from light and heat. Do not refrigerate. Use promptly after opening and follow the bottle label.
PRODUCTION IN SIX STEPS
From pumpkin seed
to green gold.
Harvest & dry
The seeds are removed from the pumpkins, washed and gently dried.
Finely grind
At the oil mill, the dried seeds are ground into a fine meal.
Mix
The seed meal is mixed with water and salt to form an even paste.
Carefully roast
Slow heating develops the characteristic nutty, roasted aromas.
Gently press
The prepared paste is pressed, releasing the dark green pumpkin seed oil.
Settle & bottle
The oil is left to rest so suspended particles can settle, then bottled.
