Pelzmann Steirisches Kürbiskernöl: Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil

Why choose Pelzmann?

• This isn't any pumpkin seed oil, Pelzmann came top in the rigorous ARD Marktcheck: https://youtu.be/Z4TWPXUV_9o.
• Pelzmann’s Styrian pumpkin seed oil is subject to strict EU regulations for protection of geographical origin and has been awarded the quality seal “Styrian pumpkin seed oil – PGI” (protected geographical indication), which few foods enjoy.
• The oil uses exclusively Styrian pumpkin seeds grown under controlled contract farming arrangements. 

Is it "cold pressed"? Is it "virgin"?

Commonly used process definitions like “cold pressed”, “virgin”, “not refined”, “refined” are often insufficient to characterise oil processing methods. Pelzmann pumpkin seed oil is produced by a traditional process, which is specified in the Austrian Codex Alimentarius (Austrian Food Standard) for pumpkin seed oil. Process definitions, which are correct for the most countries, are ”virgin”, “not refined” and “cold pressed using heat pretreated seeds”.
