The prizes were presented in Varaždin earlier this week.
The 3rd International Alps-Adria Pumpkin Seed Oil Exhibition was organised by Varaždin County with the Alps-Adriatic Alliance and 12 Croatian counties. This year 168 pumpkin seed oils from Croatia, Austria, Slovenia and Hungary were submitted.
Fifteen 15 gold medals were awarded in the cold pressed pumpkin seed oil category and seven in the warm pressed category.
Varaždin County prefect Radimir Čačić awarded the pumpkin seed oil made by the Sinković family farm €2,000.
He said he was proud that five samples from five producers in the county had won five gold medals at the biggest world fair of food products, where 3,500 samples from over 90 countries had competed.
“This prize only goes to show that our colleagues in neighbouring countries have the same quality as well,” said Čačić.
