Originally used for turning olives into luscious and delicious olive oil, stone-grinding applies pressure with powerful, perfectly smooth granite wheels. Although "old world" in its approach, it is revolutionary in terms of preserving nutrients and flavor. Only the finest organic raw sprouted pumpkin seeds are used in every handcrafted batch to create a gourmet and silky smooth seed butter.
