What is the black oil?
Styrian pumpkin fields bring around 500 kgs of dried pumpkin seeds per hectare. And for 1 litres oil you need around 2.5 kgs of dried pumpkin seeds. From these seeds without any shell, which are a natural food and which are processed to a dark green oil, which looks a litte bit red, when the light is shining through. The pressing is done an old way since more than 100 years after a soft roasting. High quality produced oil is a natural product with a fresh and typical taste and colour. With wrong storage it can get rancid, so always a cool and dark storage is necessary, when the bottle is opened once. Learn at the following pages how Austrian people use the oil and which way they consume the healthness every day. We produce not only pumpkin seed oil, we make also a specific pumpkin seed mustard.

Why is this oil good for you?
There is a lot of information about the many nutrients, including: Vit. A, Vit. E, Zinc and the precious omegas: Omega 3 and Omega 6: also known as essential fatty acids (EFAs) you will find at the ready oil. The seeds and the oil have been the subject of a number of studies to identify their health-promoting potential. Preliminary studies have shown that pumpkin seeds may reduce hormonal damage to prostate cells, thus possibly reducing the risk of developing prostate cancer. Pumpkin seeds have been used to treat urinary tract infections.

How to buy a high quality?
The most necessary part to order the healthy oil is to see how the company works. A lot of oil is not only pumpkin seed oil. Some companies add sunflower or other cheap oils into the pumpkin seed oil to make it cheaper. A 100 % oil has a higher price and it tastes more intensive. You should look after small farmers and people who work together with small farmers. We produce the seed by us and process them at a small mill. While the processing we wait there, to be sure, to get our oil from our seed and that you can trust the perfect the quality of our oil. We will show you around our family business if you will come to us. If the way is too long to order at our farm shop, we would be happy if you order some oil for your healthness at our online shop. Don`t be afraid to come at a vinegar shop, this is the main work of our business.

100 % quality is not cheap, but you will like it, when you taste it the first time.... and you will not want to do without it anymore.
