At the Kocbek oil mill, we have labelled the BIO Štajerska Prekmurje Pumpkin Oil Slovenia with a black label.

Since 2013, Bio Štajersko Prekmurje Pumpkin Oil Slovenia has been an official Slovenian product (protected by a geographical indication), registered in the European Union. There is a long tradition of oil pumpkin cultivation and processing of pumpkin seeds into pumpkin oil in Styria and Prekmurje, dating back to the 18th century. The first press, established in Styria as early as 1750, bears witness to this.

At the Kocbek oil mill, we still maintain the tradition of processing that we started in 1929, working with local (indigenous) producers and using only raw material (pumpkin seeds) of Slovenian origin.

Bio ŠPrekmurje pumpkin oil from Thayer Slovenia with a protected geographical indication is an edible unrefined oil produced by pressing roasted pumpkin seeds, which are extracted from pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo) and processed in the Styria and Prekmurje region. It is dark green to red in colour, with a characteristic aromatic smell and taste.*

At the Kocbek oil mill, we have labelled the BIO Štajerska Prekmurje Pumpkin Oil Slovenia with (according to the way the pumpkin seeds are milled) black label. In the hot-pressing process for these oils, the seeds are ground into roller mill, where the rollers are made of metal.
