Nyssos / Olive Oil

The ancient olive trees of Corfu stretch their branches towards the sun, yielding an exceptional fruit. This fruit, in turn, is transformed into a unique product: Nyssos Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Our connection to tradition and the emphasis on the quality of Nyssos olive oil led us to choose a distinctive packaging design that takes us back to the origins of preserving Homer’s "liquid gold." Our research was based on clay forms from the 5th century BC archaic period, with the central concept being the ceramic vessel, inspired by the classic amphora, evoking a sense of authenticity and timelessness.

The shape of the container is inspired by the olive leaf, while the pattern of the ancient olive tree on the vessel references the strength and endurance of these trees, tirelessly and generously bearing their fruit through the ages.

The finishing touch to this premium packaging is the wooden box that encases the ceramic vessel, allowing the front to remain visible. This design invites the consumer to discover the exquisite extra virgin olive oil from the rich, fertile land of Corfu, steeped in a long tradition of refined taste and craftsmanship.
