Original Altay Cold-Pressed Pumpkin Seed Oil is an unrefined oil obtained by cold-pressing the seeds of selected pumpkin varieties (Cucurbita pepo). Cold-pressing, without heat treatment, preserves the oil's full complement of natural bioactive compounds, including a rich polyunsaturated fatty acid profile dominated by linoleic acid (omega-6) and oleic acid (omega-9), natural vitamin E (tocopherols), phytosterols, carotenoids (providing the characteristic deep green-amber colour), and chlorophyll. The distinctive deep green colour and rich, nutty flavour make it immediately recognisable.
Pumpkin seed oil has a long history in European cuisine — particularly in Austrian, Styrian and Balkan culinary traditions. In cooking, it is used raw as a salad dressing oil, drizzled over soups, porridges and dips, or mixed into cold sauces. It should not be used for frying, as the polyunsaturated fat content is sensitive to heat. A teaspoon or two daily over salads or in a smoothie is a simple way to incorporate this distinctive culinary oil into a varied diet.

ORIGINAL ALTAY Kõrvitsaõli 100 ml by ALTAI SPECIALIST is a cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil for raw culinary use. People usually choose this type of oil when they want more than a neutral cooking fat: it adds a deep nutty taste, a dark green colour and naturally occurring plant compounds from pumpkin seeds. It works especially well in salads, grain bowls, blended cold sauces and as a finishing drizzle over warm food just before serving.
What makes pumpkin seed oil interesting is not only its flavour, but also its composition. Because the oil is obtained by cold pressing, the seeds are not exposed to high heat during production. This helps preserve heat-sensitive components such as tocopherols, a form of vitamin E that helps protect the oil itself from oxidation, along with phytosterols, chlorophyll and carotenoids. The fat profile is led by linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, with a substantial amount of oleic acid, an omega-9 monounsaturated fat. In plain terms, this means the oil is rich, aromatic and best enjoyed unheated, where both taste and naturally present compounds are better preserved.
Pumpkin seed oil has a long culinary tradition in Central and Southeastern Europe, especially in Austrian and Styrian kitchens, where it is valued as a finishing oil rather than a frying oil. Its dense, roasted-nut character can turn a simple plate of vegetables, soup or porridge into something more rounded and satisfying. It suits people who enjoy ingredient-led cooking, those looking to vary the oils used in their diet, or anyone who prefers strong flavour from a small amount instead of heavy dressings.
A practical point: this is not an all-purpose kitchen oil. Due to its high polyunsaturated fat content, heat can damage its flavour and delicate components, so it should not be used for frying. If you are watching your fat intake or planning meals for children, pregnancy or a specific eating plan, use it thoughtfully as part of a balanced menu and follow the storage advice after opening so the oil stays fresh.
