Cold Pressed Pumpkin Oil Kocbek - Prekmurje, Slovenia

Pumpkin seed oil has a unique fatty acid composition and is a rich source of tocopherols and contains about 50mg of vitamin E per 100ml of oil. Pumpkin oil also contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C and D, as well as Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Selenium and other trace elements, carotenoids and rare amino acids. 

Using the cold-pressing method preserves everything nature gave this oil, including its fresh, fruity aroma, deep green color and the rich, raw pumpkin seed flavor. 

Pumpkin oil is amazing for finishing dishes. Here are some pumpkin oil food pairings ideas: 

🥗 Salads

Pumpkin oil + apple cider vinegar or balsamic makes a killer dressing. Try it on arugula, spinach, or mixed greens with goat cheese, pear, walnuts, or apple slices.

🍞 Bread & Dips

Drizzle on fresh sourdough, rye, or baguette with a pinch of sea salt. Mix with a bit of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a creamy dip (popular in Austria/Slovenia).

🍳 Eggs

Add a few drops to scrambled eggs, omelets, or poached eggs on toast.

🥔 Potatoes

Drizzle on mashed, roasted, or boiled potatoes with a bit of flaky salt.

🧀 Cheese

Great with soft cheeses like brie, ricotta, or quark. Also works surprisingly well with aged cheeses like parmesan or cheddar.

🥣 Soups

Finish creamy soups like pumpkin, carrot, or potato leek with a swirl for depth.

🍨 Unexpected Sweet Pairings

A touch on vanilla ice cream or pumpkin pie (yes, seriously) gives an earthy twist.
