Discover the exceptional taste of Clearspring Organic Toasted Pumpkin Seed Oil, crafted from cold-pressed Demeter organic Styrian pumpkin seeds sourced directly from Austria. This gourmet oil owes its award-winning flavour to the unique Styrian pumpkin seeds, which are cultivated specifically for their distinctive green, golden-striped seeds rather than the pumpkin flesh. Recognized for their superior quality and character, these seeds hold the prestigious Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) certification issued by the European Union. The oil inherits a rich dark green hue from the seeds and offers a versatile culinary experience. Its nutty, toasted flavour enhances a wide variety of dishes, making it an excellent complement to wholegrain bread, soups, fresh salads, and even desserts.

Following extraction, the oil undergoes gentle filtration rather than heat-based refining, which helps maintain its rich flavour profile and nutrient content. This meticulous process ensures that the oil remains pure and of the highest quality, making it a superior choice for those seeking authentic, nutrient-rich ingredients in their cooking. Usage Suggestions Enhance your culinary creations by drizzling this fragrant oil over salads, incorporating it into vegetable sautés, or using it as a finishing touch for pasta and grain dishes. Its unique toasted flavour also pairs wonderfully with creamy soups and can even be used to add depth to certain desserts.
