Estyria achieves its best ever IFS result
Top IFS grades on a higher scale
In this year’s audit for the International Featured Standards Food assessment, Estyria Naturprodukte GmbH at its Wollsdorf site achieved an impressive 98.7%.
We’re immensely proud of this result – which is the highest grade we’ve ever achieved since gaining our first IFS certification in 2006. We’d also like to say a big thank you to the head of Estyria’s QA department, Dr Silvia Pfeiffer-Mayer, and her team.

Traditional Styrian
stamp press process
While modernity has brought progress in many areas, the traditional Styrian stamp press process is still the best way of making pumpkin seed oil. 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.
