Štajersko prekmursko pumpkin seed oil Slovenia with a protected geographical indication (PGI) is an unrefined oil produced by pressing roasted pumpkin seeds which are obtained from Cucurbita pepo pumpkins and grown in the Štajerska and Prekmurje regions. It is dark green to reddish in color, with a distinct strong aroma and flavor.
At the Kocbek oil mill they have been using the traditional processing methods which results in a superior quality pumping oil. They work closely with local Slovenian pumpkin growers.
With the hot pressing process used to extract these oils, the seeds are ground using real stone, resulting in an oil that is somewhat darker in color, more viscous and has a different flavor.
