Steirerkraft Styrian pumpkin seed oil PGI

Our Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil PGI is crafted from sun-ripened pumpkins grown by our dedicated contract farmers within the protected geographical indication (PGI) region of Styria in Austria. It is distinguished by its rich dark-green colour, smooth viscosity, and delicate nutty flavour – the hallmarks of authentic Styrian pumpkin seed oil.

What makes our oil truly exceptional is the combination of tradition, expertise, and carefully selected raw materials. Our experienced oil millers rely on their instinct and craftsmanship to determine the perfect moment for pressing. Using the traditional Styrian stamp-pressing method, they create an oil with a uniquely rich and distinctive flavour profile. Every pumpkin seed is sourced exclusively from the certified PGI growing area, ensuring genuine origin, outstanding quality, and an authentic taste experience.

Styrian pumpkin seed oil is a versatile gourmet oil, traditionally used as a finishing oil to enhance a wide range of dishes. It is ideal for salads, dressings, soups, and cold dishes, where its nutty aroma can fully unfold. It also pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, potatoes, pasta, and cheese dishes. In addition, it is often used to refine dips and spreads or as a special finishing touch over warm meals just before serving. For a unique culinary experience, it can even be drizzled over desserts such as vanilla ice cream or incorporated into creative gourmet recipes.
