Project Type: Produced, Commercial Work
Client: Primitive Cyprus
Location: Cyprus
Packaging Contents: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Packaging Materials: Glass, Wood

The recently awarded extra virgin olive oil by Primitive Cyprus, as one of the best olive oils in the world (international contest Flos Olei 2017), and its newly launched brand, are already challenging the conventional view of olive oil packaging design; by looking more like a medicinal product rather than a culinary one.
