Impressive organic expertise
When it comes to organic matters we know what we’re talking about. Organic production accounts for more than half – in fact 55% – of the 10,000 tonnes of raw goods that we handle each year, and the trend is upwards. Our know-how has been built up through experience gained over many years. We have extensive knowledge of land use in controlled organic farming and practice appropriate land management.
Our Steirerkraft brand is based on strengths in three areas: regionality, gastronomy and health. The focus is very much on conscious, high-quality nutrition. The organic trend has permeated the buying behaviour of end consumers at all levels and is therefore a persuasive reason for our customers to buy organic. We know our suppliers and their products and can thus ensure reliable quality as well as reliable supply.

The main difference between this and other pressing methods is that we work with open roasting pans. At our plant, people check when the pumpkin seeds are perfectly roasted and so will yield the very best oil. This enables our experienced oil millers to produce the pumpkin seed oil that has won more prizes than any other – and which as a result of this type of pressing retains all the natural constituents. The untreated oil is not filtered; the particles that make it cloudy settle naturally when the oil is left to rest.
