SIVELA
Cold-pressed from Styrian pumpkin seeds, Sivela oil carries a nutritional profile that has nourished this region for generations. Here is what the science says about what is actually in the bottle.
Sivela oil is dominated by unsaturated fatty acids — the kind that nutritionists actually recommend. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in your diet contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. A simple swap with real, documented impact.
EU authorised health claim. Linoleic and oleic acid are the dominant fatty acids in Styrian pumpkin seed oil.
Linoleic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid classified as essential — meaning your body cannot produce it, and must obtain it from food. Sivela oil is a natural source. Linoleic acid contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
EU authorised health claim for linoleic acid. Daily intake condition applies.
Pumpkin seed oil contains tocopherols, the natural form of vitamin E. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress — one of the most well-established roles in nutritional science. It is also one of the reasons the oil has been prized in traditional Styrian kitchens for centuries.
EU authorised health claim. Confirmed subject to product lab analysis.
Beyond its fatty acid profile, Sivela oil contains naturally occurring plant compounds including phytosterols, carotenoids, and squalene. These are the compounds found in seeds that have sustained a harvest tradition across generations — present in every cold-pressed drop.
Described as nutritional and quality compounds. No specific health claims made.
The deep green-red colour is not a filter or an additive — it is what cold-pressed Styrian pumpkin seed oil looks like. The characteristic aroma and dense, nutty flavour are the product of a specific seed, a specific region, and a pressing method that generates zero heat. You taste the difference because the difference is real.
Colour and sensory profile are defining characteristics of unrefined Styrian pumpkin seed oil.
Over salads, soups, roasted vegetables, or grilled meat. The heat of the food is enough — never cook with it directly.
Add a spoonful to yoghurt, porridge, or a smoothie for a nutty depth that surprises every time.
Applied sparingly, it has been used as a skin oil in the Styrian tradition for as long as it has been a kitchen staple.
