Štajersko prekmursko bučno olje Slovenija

Dark label

At the Kocbek oil mill, the Štajersko prekmursko pumpkin seed oil Slovenia has been labelled with a dark label in accordance with the pumpkin seed milling process. With the hot pressing process used to extract these oils, the seeds are ground using real stone, resulting in an oil that is somewhat darker in color, more viscous and has a slightly different flavor. 

Since 2013, Štajersko prekmursko pumpkin seed oil Slovenia has been an official Slovenian product (oil entered into the register of protected geographical indications), registered in the European Union. The Štajerska and Prekmurje regions have a long-standing tradition of growing pumpkins for oil and processing pumpkin seeds into pumpkin oil, dating back to the 18th century. The evidence for this claim can be found in the fact that the first oil mill in Štajerska has been established as early as 1750.

At Kocbek oil mill, we have been using the traditional processing methods that were first introduced in 1929 up to this day. We work closely with local (Slovenian) pumpkin growers and use exclusively pumpkin seeds of Slovenian origin.
