Once a year, Gino Haddad picks a tiny portion of olives from his
groves in the Rihaneh segment of Lebanon. Any collection goes from
margin to cold-press within 6 hours of selection, ensuring the finest
quality of olive oil from the grove.
In order to reflect the organic approach and limited production, a
custom made bottle was specially designed to portray the uniqueness of Gino’s olive oil. A small piece of art and not just another
bottle.
Two different types of uneven olive shaped bottles were drawn,
using mathematical techniques to calculate the irregular shape and
volume.
The ceramic bottles were brought to life by the skillful hands of
Stelios Laskaris, in black gloss and green matte glaze finishes.
Both designs are constructed in Greece by ceramicist Stelios Laskaris.
Designed in Cyprus, produced in Greece and enjoyed in Lebanon.
