Introductory price: 11.45! Austrian poppy seed oil from the Gressl family's poppy seed farm. The farm is located in Ottenschlag in the Waldviertel region, about 110 km from Vienna, nestled in their own poppy fields.
We're very familiar with the poppy farm, and previously we had to pick up our ordered goods directly from the farm's owner. We've been purchasing products from the Gressl family for over nine years, including their popular poppy honey and poppy oil.
The following poppy seed oils are temporarily available:
- Grey poppy seed oil: Pure, cold-pressed poppy seed oil from the first pressing, completely natural. The mild, delicate poppy seed flavor pairs perfectly with raw vegetables and pasta dishes, and is also ideal for homemade spreads. (Best before end of April 2026)
- Blue poppy seed oil: Rarely offered, pure, cold-pressed poppy seed oil from the first pressing, completely natural; its strong and intense poppy flavor is particularly suitable as an accompaniment to cheese (feta) and mixed salads. (Best before end of April 2026)
- White poppy seed oil: Rarely offered, pure, cold-pressed poppy seed oil from the first pressing, completely natural; its delicate, poppy-nutty aroma is perfect for asparagus dishes and for refining desserts. (Best before end of April 2026)
In general, valuable ingredients are only preserved when used cold without heating.
The tradition of poppy cultivation in the Waldviertel region dates back to the Middle Ages. Documents from Zwettl Abbey dating back to 1280 document the monks' cultivation of poppies. Then as now, poppy is the basis for the active ingredient morphine , which is used to treat pain, anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions.
Some suppliers therefore claim similar effects for poppy seed oil. However, these effects are not proven by research and should not simply be presented as truth. What is true, however, is the high vitamin E content (see the nutritional information on the label) and the fact that poppy seed oil tastes really good. In our opinion, it tastes even better than olive oil, which is often perceived as bitter. And of course, by using Waldviertler poppy seed oil, you also avoid the high risk of buying cheap oil substitutes or other fake products from abroad.
