Pumpkin oil will benefit your body not only in autumn
Pumpkins are a traditional symbol of autumn, but pumpkin oil, obtained from the seeds of this cucurbit vegetable, should have its place in our diet all year round. It contains many nutrients and will enrich the taste of pasta, salads or soups.
Pumpkin, which is the popular name for the common gourd, is one of the oldest crops in the world, originally from Central America. It only reached Europe with sailors in the 15th century. Not all pumpkins are edible and they also differ in color, shape, size, and the most important thing for us - the seeds.
We cold-press our pumpkin oil in RAW quality using a screw press from the shelled seeds of excellent Czech pumpkins grown in the Znojmo region. This is a different process for producing pumpkin oil than is traditional, for example, in Austria. There, pumpkin oil is obtained from roasted and chopped seeds of Styrian pumpkins, which are pressed using a hydraulic press under heat and high pressure. That's why our oil may surprise you with its specific pumpkin seed flavor with subtle fruity or nutty notes.
