Oljarna Klas is an oil mill located in the small village of Ključarovci, in the heart of Prlekija, surrounded by green plains bathed in the "Prlekija sun". The favorable climate and fertile soil of this region provide ideal conditions for growing oil pumpkins.
For this reason, Oljarna Klas was established in 2012, equipped with state-of-the-art technology for processing pumpkin seeds into pumpkin seed oil. Oil pumpkins are rich in seeds and have long been considered a symbol of fertility, wealth, and joy.
In Slovenia, several varieties of oil pumpkins are grown for pumpkin seed oil production, including the native Slovenska Golica variety, as well as Gleisdorfer and hybrids such as GL Opal, GL Rustikal, and Beppo. Thanks to skilled farmers from the Pomurje and Podravje regions, Slovenska Golica has gained international recognition in healthy cuisine. Read more
