Styrian Prekmurje Pumpkin Oil Kocbek
100% unrefined Styrian pumpkin seed oil, light label.
At the Kocbek oil mill, the Styrian Prekmurje pumpkin oil Slovenia was marked with a light label.
ŠStyrian Prekmurje Pumpkin Oil Slovenia with a protected geographical indication is an edible unrefined oil, produced by pressing roasted pumpkin seeds, which are obtained from pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo) and processed in the regions of Styria and Prekmurje. It is dark green to red in color, with a characteristic aromatic smell and taste.*
At the Kocbek oil mill, we have marked the Styrian Prekmurje pumpkin oil Slovenia with a light label (regarding the method of grinding pumpkin seeds). In the process of hot pressing for these oils, the seeds are ground in a roller mill, where the rollers are made of metal.
The region of Štajerska and Prekmurje has a long tradition of growing oil pumpkins and processing pumpkin seeds into pumpkin oil, dating back to the 18th century. This is evidenced by the first oil press, which was established in Štajerska as early as 1750.
The Kocbek oil mill still maintains the processing tradition that began in 1929. They cooperate with local (domestic) producers and use exclusively raw materials (pumpkin seeds) of Slovenian origin.
