OliveNation Styrian Pumpkinseed Oil 8.45 oz, 8.45 Ounce - Use in Cheese, Foie Gras, Truffles, Wagyu Steaks, Baking Products, Spices, Oils, Balsamic Vinegars by Castelmuro

My husband brought some of this back to me from Vienna years ago. It is a Bavarian speciality. Soooooo delicious!! Like a toasted walnut oil, only better. Put a little finishing touch of it on your salad, or pasta, or wherever. Adds a secret yummy that no one can identify. SO good!

I first tasted Styrian Pumpkinseed oil a few decades ago while in the service, but on trip to Austria a few years back I had the opportunity to try it again and couldn't believe I'd forgotten what a great flavor it added to foods. I brought a couple of bottles back to the states, after they were used up, I looked in specialty stores and markets all over the NYC area but with no success. Finally, I ordered the oil over Amazon. It arrived quickly and has the same great taste as the product I brought back from Austria. My only quibble is that I can't get the organic oil that I found over there, but it's pretty much a case of beggars can't be choosers when it comes to finding this oil in the US. A note to anyone that buys the oil, keep yours in the fridge once you open it as it will go bad if you don't.

I grew up using pumpkin seed oil on my salad every since I was very young. My grandfather used to bring it back every time he went on trips to Europe. He used to purchase it from a small company in Slovenia and I've never been able to find anything even CLOSE to that pumpkin seed oil.On a whim, I found this styrian pumpkin seed oil and decided to give it a try. The package was just as it was pictured, the oil was thick and a rich dark green and the taste was just as I remember-- subtle and nutty. If you have not tried pumpkin seed oil before, I HIGHLY recommend it. The price is worth it and the quality is unmatched.I use it in a salad with this recipe: romaine lettuce (or whatever lettuce of your choosing), olive oil, vegeta (a group of spices), red wine vinegar, freshly minced garlic, and salt. It is amazing.

This is the real Austrian pumpkin seed oil from the Steiermark (Styria)region of Austria. It is the oil used for making potato salad there. From the bottle, it is thick almost like motor oil but with a rich taste and aroma of pumpkin seed. Once lightened in a dressing, it renders a dark green color. It is rich but authentic. It is a very special item not really widely used except in Austrian cuisine. It is one of the specialties of the Styrian region of southeastern Austria.

Delicious. One of the most unique oils on the planet. Mixes well with your favorite vinegar to make an awesome salad dressing. Expensive, but absolutely worth every penny. Styrian Kürbis pumpkins are only grown in one region on earth, which is why the oil is so expensive.

Indeed, as the first reviewer stated this is a wonderful, fragrant oil and it does come in a glass bottle, which is a plus. I just wish the oil was be organic but it isn't!

Way too expensive

AS I AM FROM AUSTRIA, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE VERY BEST OF MY HOMETOWN.......TASTES SO DELICIOUS.......
