Virgin oils are vegetable oils obtained exclusively by mechanical processes – without the use of solvents or chemical refining.
In the context of Styrian pumpkin seed oil: The term “virgin” is known from olive oil classification (e.g. “extra virgin olive oil”). For pumpkin seed oil the term is used less often, as the traditional Styrian product is made using roasting and heat and therefore does not fall under the usual definition of a virgin oil.
