Roasting

Glossary

Roasting means heating food at high temperature so roast aromas develop.

In Styrian pumpkin seed oil making, it is not the whole dry seed that is roasted in a frying pan, but the milled mash of seeds, water and salt. Roasting releases the oil and creates the nutty taste. Time and temperature are set by the press master; the official product description does not fix a single mandatory degree value.
