About Grazer Krauthäuptel Salat

Grazer Krauthäuptel Salat is a Styrian salad centred on the protected lettuce grown around Graz. This profile follows the region's classic service with dark pumpkin seed oil, apple cider vinegar, salt and black pepper.

The lettuce is mild and gently sweet, balanced by fruity acidity from the vinegar. Pumpkin seed oil brings a deep toasted, nutty character, while salt and pepper keep the dressing direct and savoury.

The salad has pale-green, tender-crisp leaves edged in characteristic red-violet tones. A thin glossy coating of dark-green oil catches in the folds without weighing down the fresh, lightly ruffled head lettuce.
