Styrian pumpkin-seed oil PGI, 250ml

A protected-origin food you literally cannot buy properly abroad — cheap here, precious elsewhere, and every bottle traces to a named farm.

Price: 13.9 EUR (Typical 2026 price for 250ml genuine 'Steirisches Kürbiskernöl g.g.A.' from farm shops and Steirerkraft; farm-gate from ~€10)

Where to buy: Farm shops around Graz (look for the green PGI banderole), Naschmarkt stalls, Steirerkraft stockists

• Only oil with the g.g.A./PGI banderole and a farm number is the real thing — dark green, nutty, from roasted hull-less Styrian seeds
• CHECKED BAG ONLY (over 100ml liquid) — wrap in a zip-lock; it stains permanently
• US price is roughly double; in India it's essentially unavailable
• 'Black gold of Styria' on vanilla ice cream is the local party trick
