Graz

Glossary

Graz is the capital of Styria and, with around 300,000 inhabitants, Austria's second-largest city. The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

In the context of Styrian pumpkin seed oil: the districts of Graz and Graz-Umgebung officially belong to the growing and pressing area. Graz is the administrative seat and a trading place; classic oil pumpkin growing lies mainly in southern and south-eastern Styria, not in the city centre. Graz is not the heart of the pumpkin seed oil region in the everyday sense.
