Kürbiskernöl-Eis

Vanilla ice cream gets finished with a drizzle of the same dark-green pumpkin seed oil normally reserved for salads — a nutty, savory-sweet combination that's become a Graz market curiosity.

Plain vanilla or cream ice cream is scooped into a cup and topped with a swirl of cold-pressed Styrian pumpkin seed oil, sometimes with a scatter of crushed pumpkin seeds. Graz market stalls and ice cream vendors sell it as a regional novelty alongside standard flavors.

Why it's made this way: It's a modern riff by local vendors leaning into the region's signature pumpkin seed oil, turning a savory pantry staple into a street-food talking point.
