We’re sharing our best tips so you can spot high-quality pumpkin seed oil in just a few steps.
1. Look for the PGI banderole
Only with the PGI banderole can you be sure you’re holding genuine Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil PGI. This means the oil is made exclusively from pumpkin seeds grown in the PGI-designated growing region.
2. The distinctively nutty flavour
Once you’ve tasted genuine Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil PGI, you won’t forget its delicately nutty flavour.
3. Colour and consistency reveal a lot
Good pumpkin seed oil is deep green and thick, almost syrupy without being sticky – it drips slowly. If the oil is more yellowish or reddish-brown and tastes bitter, it was usually pressed too hot or for too long. Peeled seeds instead of hull-less seeds also negatively affect the colour.
4. Trust Steirerkraft
We’re completely convinced by our Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil PGI – try it for yourself. Our Pumpkin Seed Oil Premium is also available in smaller bottles, perfect for getting to know it.
