It gets its typical and one of a kind character from the Styrian earth the Styrian oil pumpkin grows in.
So what makes the Styrian pumpkin seed oil from NEBAUER so special?
Producing natural top quality products means taking responsibility for nature and farming. Our sun-rich climate is in addition to the unique earth a prerequisite for our high quality. Especially the temperature changes between day and night, as well as the sun-rich autumn, provide us with the best pumpkin seeds.
Our carefully selected pumpkin seeds are sourced either from our own farm based in the center of the main styrian pumpkin growing area in the south of Styria in St. Georgen/Stiefing or 100 % from the traditional P.G.I. farming area.
The pressing of pumpkin seed oil requires a great deal of experience and care and is carried out by hand. Our traditional Styrian stamp pressing process ensures the unrivalled flavour.
NEBAUER´s Styrian pumpkin seed oil P.G.I. is recognised and recommended as a high quality product with an unique taste. It received the Styrian State Prize in gold since years, the last one in 2017.
NEBAUER´s Styrian pumpkin seed oil is excellent for salad dressings and for spicing up various dishes. We are specialiced to ship our natural delicacy all over the word.
NEBAUER can look back at over a hundred years of experience and success producing oil from the plump, dark green and shell-less Styrian pumpkin seeds.
Cultivation
The GMO-free pumpkin seeds are sown in the end of April or beginning of May when the temperatur of our soils reach a minimum temperatur of 12 degree celcius. Our pumpkins are sown in rows with a single sowing machinge and a total of 18.000 seeds per hectar.
Mechanical weed control
Sowing our pumpkins in rows makes it possible to easily remove weeds by tilling the soil between them.
Harvest
Depending on the weather conditions, the harvest takes place between the middle of September and the middle of October, usually using modern seed harvesting machinery. Our seeds are only seldom harvested by hand, this involves laboriously halving the pumpkins and then the tedious work of separating the seeds from the pumpkin flesh, traditionally called "auspatzeln" in Styrian dialect. After they are harvested, the seeds are washed with drinking water, cleaned of remaining pumpkin flesh and dried for further storage.

The pressing of pumpkin seed oil requires a great deal of experience and care and is carried out by hand. Our pumpkin seed oil is produced using a traditional Styrian stamp pressing process.
Grounding and roasting
In order to produce Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil P.G.I. the seeds are first ground, then water and salt are kneaded into the ground seeds and then the mixture gently roasted. The expertise of our Press Master is very important at this stage in the production, because based on his knowledge he decides when the roasting process is completed and pressing can begin.
Pressing
The warm pumpkin seed mass is then pressed carefully using a traditional stamp press as part of a long process, without any additional heating. This releases the thick dark green oil. Nowadays, the oil millers have access to the most modern pressing equipment, which facilitates a gentle while also effective pressing.
Resting
The fresh pumpkin seed oil is then stored for 7 days. During this time, all of the suspended solids and fibre residue sink to the bottom as part of a natural process.
Bottling
After checking the quality of our oil, the bottling takes place under hygienic conditions, without the addition of any additives or preservatives.
Our bodies need a certain amount of fat intake for many reasons, but also because it is necessary for some metabolic processes. The important functions of fats in the body include the protection and cushioning of inner organs, forming the building blocks of the cell structure, high calorie energy source, enables the absorption of fat soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, K) and finally provides essential fatty acids that the body cannot synthesize itself.
Valuable Styrian pumpkin seed oil P.G.I. from NEBAUER
Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil P.G.I. has, with 80%, one of the highest concentrations of mono- and polyunsaturated fats of any oil. A high vitamin E content (averaging 29 mg / 100 g), that means one portion of Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil P.G.I. (10 ml) can cover up to 20 % of our daily dietary needs (the recommended vitamin E intake for an adult is, according to current sources, 12 mg per day).
Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil P.G.I. naturally contains high concentrations of oleic acid and linoleic acid, both of which are unsaturated fatty acids. In addition, linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid, meaning that it cannot be synthesized by our bodies
The subsitution of unsaturated fatty acids for saturated fatty acids contributes to a healthy diet and can help maintain a normal blood cholesterol level.
Though, naturally, as a part of a varied and balanced diet in combination with a healthy lifestyle. Linoleic acid can positively affect the blood cholesterol level at a daily intake of 10 g of linoleic acid. There are ca. 4 g of linoleic acid in every portion (10 ml) of Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil P.G.I.
The vitamin E is an antioxidant and, in the human body, plays a role in the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Furthermore, it prevents the oil from spoiling or going rancid too quickly.
The optimal storage of Styrian pumpkin seed oil to prevent rancidiy
Oxygen, warmth and light stimulate the degradation of the unsaturated fats in pumpkin seed oil and cause the oil to quickly go rancid. This is why Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil P.G.I. is stored in well sealed dark bottles or cans. It is possible to store an unopened bottle for 9 - 12 months at room temperatures lower than 18 °C, but of course the shorter the storage time, the better and nuttier the flavour.
Opened bottles of pumpkin seed oil should be used within 6 - 12 weeks. As the oil is used, the ever increasing amount of air in the bottle is of ever increasing importance. The more air in the bottle, the more oxygen is available to oxidize the fatty acids in the remaining oil. It is possible that pumpkin seed oil can go rancid towards the end of a bottle; that the rest of the oil is not enjoyable anymore and that it ends up as waste oil. The best prevention is to buy a bottle fitted to your individual needs. That's how smaller bottles, of 250 ml or 500 ml, can ensure the quality and culinary delight last as long as possible.
It is also a good idea to wipe the drops of oil away from the bottle's neck after pouring, this residue oxidizes very quickly. This rancid oil residue can lend its rancid flavour to the next dish where Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil P.G.I. is needed, though the oil in the bottle is actually still good.

THREE PACK - NEBAUERs Styrian Pumpkin seed oil P.G.J. 1 liter can
The 2x3 pack of 1 liter Pumpkin seed oil arrived 1 day ahead of schedule via DHL. Shipping is unfortunately crazy expensive plus our dear government added about another $31CAD in import tariffs but the oil is worth every drop. Used to have to stretch the oil with olive oil but now that we have 6 cans we can use it full strength the way it was intended. Flavour is unmatched by any other oil. Nothing like it. You only live once!

Das echte steirische Kürbiskernöl g.g.A. von NEBAUER wird verdammt knapp
Derzeit können wir noch nicht abschätzen, ob unser Kürbiskernölvorrat bis zur neuen Ernte 2015 reichen wird. Eines ist klar - es wird verdammt knapp. Aufgrund unserer strengen Qualitätsphilosophie kaufen wir keine Kürbiskerne unbekannter bzw. ausländischer Herkunft zu und bleiben unseren Prinzipien treu. Bei Neukunden bitten wir um Verständnis, dass wir nicht alle Wünsche erfüllen können.
