Styrian Gold Pumpkin Seed Oil is prized far beyond the borders of Styria, (Steiermark) a province in the south of Austria. This award winning, unrefined, 100% pure Styrian pumpkin oil …pumpkin seed oil, is thicker and has a darker green colour, compared to pumpkin seed oils pressed from North American pumpkins. The Styrian oil has a unique, nutty aroma, light, smooth taste and is praised for its palatability and flavour enhancing qualities. It is mainly used as a finishing oil drizzled over any cold dishes, salads, vegetables, soups and deserts….but only AFTER cooking/heating as this delicate oil has a very low burn point(120 deg. C). Culinarily, this Styrian pumpkin oil and the dark green Styrian seeds are being used world wide, in creative ways, by a growing number of chefs, to entice their customers with a nuttiness that’s beyond nutty!

However, not a lot of Canadians know about this special Styrian oil pumpkin that is grown just for the seeds. The Styrians in Austria have been slow-pressing these raw, shell-less and extremely healthy seeds into a beautiful oil for generations using traditional methods. This includes warming up the seeds just enough to separate the fat from the protein/fiber (far below roasting temperatures) but not enough to damage the delicate and beneficial nutrients found in the oil. Now we are bringing this great food to Canada and America so that you can enjoy this unique, healthy and great tasting oil.

It all started when Ernestine first came to Ontario from Austria, and discovered that this oil was not available here. As she grew up with it, she knew how good it was! Here in Canada, she only had the limited amounts she was able to bring back from her occasional trips home. When our Canadian friends tried the oil, they said “Wow! It’s so delicious!” We soon realized there is definitely a market for this oil in Canada. As Canadians are becoming more aware of healthy living, they are constantly looking for new and effective natural alternatives. By bringing these products to Canadians, we feel that we are making a positive contribution to healthy living and culinary enjoyment. Our vision is to share this fantastic oil, seeds and protein powder with all Canadians as well as our USA bothers and sisters. !
