PUMPKIN SEED OIL
A silky biodynamic cold-pressed finishing oil
Pumpkin seed oil is to the Alps what olive oil is to the Mediterranean. And too, like an olive, at harvesttime the Styrian pumpkin seed is soft, enough to simply cold press. The craftsmanship behind our Pumpkin Seed Oil is in the know-how, the delicate intuition in every step — for our world-class miller, inherited over six generations on the family farmstead located in Austria's region of protected geographic indication. Grown for quality, our deep green Pumpkin Seed Oil is pressed from heirloom Styrian pumpkin seed, a hulless pumpkin variety native to Austria, that thrives in its cool climate and at the heritage-led hand of our growers. Sourced from biodynamic farms dotting Austria and sharing distinguished terroir with some of Austria’s leading natural wines, our Pumpkin Seed Oil is made from Earth's highest quality pumpkin seed. Cold-pressed and bottled using hydroelectric energy self-produced on our milling partner's acreage, characteristically Austrian. We press our seeds raw, yielding a milder flavor suitable for modern versatility and experience of the oil in its purest form. Anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds, our Pumpkin Seed Oil is a source of key minerals often difficult to find in high values and offers a unique suite of health benefits. Perennially pressed in small volumes based on demand, there is fresh luxuriant oil in every bottle.

Pumpkin Seed Oil is delicate. To take proper care of your oil, always store the bottle in a dark and cool place away from heat. Never apply heat. Do not store pumpkin seed oil below 40°F. Opened, we recommend you consume the oil within 2 months for the full nutrient benefit. After this time, the oil will begin to oxidize and lose nutritional value and flavor. We thoughtfully offer a 250 ML-size bottle only to ensure there will be no lost value to you or waste to the food system. Unopened, the oil stores for up to 12 months.

MADE IN AUSTRIA All PHYSIK packaging is sustainable. PAPER Our labels and paper packaging are printed on an Original Heidelberg press. The engineering is deliciously vintage—1914, to be precise. A hundred years after its introduction, those who possess the fine printing technique and value the slow tactile process are rare. Custom-engraved brass plates belong to each component of our packaging, printed on mould-made-grade paper of fibrous cashmere quality to the touch. The machine supports the craft, making the finished product still extremely artisanal. We appreciate that each label will imprint ever so slightly differently. BOTTLE All elements of our Pumpkin Seed Oil are designed for the highest quality experience. Our 250 ML glass bottle fits the palm of your hand, ensuring a controlled pour and holding the perfect amount of oil to support a balanced, fresh serving each time — only as much as you need and no more. CAP Crack open to a plume of aromatics. We seal our bottles with aluminum food-grade closures to guarantee no oxidation, cork taint, or other substances from compromising the oil.

Biodynamics promotes a holistic approach to organic agriculture, food, and health. Biodynamics is a regenerative farming method and philosophy that views the farm as an organism, a self-sustaining ecosystem, optimizing for soil microbiology. Its soil is characterized by increased microbial activity, greater biodiversity, and a higher nutrient content. Biodynamic certification exceeds organic requirements and is the highest standard for soil health. MORE THAN ORGANIC Use of imported materials on the farm - Biodynamic reduces imported materials by addressing its needs from within the farm's system. Soil fertility is delivered via a nutrient-rich soil component, created by the integration of livestock, intensive use of cover crops grown to add nutrients to soil, and rotation of crops. Livestock feed source - Biodynamic requires 50% of livestock feed be grown on the farm. Biodiversity requirements - Biodynamic requires a biodiversity set- aside of ten percent of the total farm acreage. Farm certification - Biodynamic is farm-focused and requires that the whole farm be certified. Product certification - Biodynamic processing standards, developed for specific product types, require minimal manipulation so that the agricultural ingredients used define the product.
