Launched my own olive oil co - bottle and design all done by me https://35north.eu
- AwesomeSalarrue
- cooloey
- nice - whats 'ultra premium' about it? (not being a dick about it just genuinely curious)mugwart
- +1utopian
- well done. You live on Crete?Calderone2000
- great. best of luck with this.lowimpakt
- Do people collect olive oil? (also not being a dick)dopepope
- Yeah all done by hand, the way we’ve done it for millennia._niko
- sorry dope, read do people collect olives, I guess you're asking it olive oil is a collectors item that increases in value etc._niko
- yea. what would be the significance of 'limited edition' for food stuffs?dopepope
- I guess, if it's the good stuff, then they'd use it for the important meals. like fine wine.dopepope
- Thank you all for comments and wishes.
@Calderone2000 yes, I live in Crete for a year now.
@mugwart it's hand made, great quality and taste, limited quantitypauliusuza - Olive oil should not be kept for more than a few years or "aged", the quality decreases over time depending on how it's kept, it's simply hard to find good one.pauliusuza
- A good olive oil is really something else.ben_
- Looks like shampoo.freedom
- samplers please.ok_not_ok
- "Extra Virgin" - it's not even watched porn or touched itself! ;) Beautiful product you have.microkorg
- Like!maquito
- good luck - need quality "hand made" stuff in the world.mugwart

- nice! i haven't recovered from my families olive grooves having burned down back in 2007. some of those trees were over 300 years old.Gnash
- had always planned to go back and do something like this. We used ours just for family. only produced about 2000 litres/yearGnash
- Nice work! I was on Crete this summer. So many nice beaches (Loutraki, Marathi, Stavros...) and Cretans are ridiculously awesome people.Milan
- srsly selling olive oil for 10x its worth with a lazy ass minimal design label makes me vomitmekk
- Dude, the same thing could be said about every single high end product, people spend more on things that look premium so why not?_niko
- ^ no, a true "high end product" defines itself trough quality and someone being responsibe for it. This is just re-badged greek oil with some low effort salesmekk
- website. I happily pay for quality, but not for some labels. Half of the pictures on this shop template site is stock, not even bothered to edit.mekk
- Just google greek oil from crete, you'll find hundreds of "brands" selling the exact same oil in fancy bottlesmekk
- @mekk, shop is custom made and only one image is stock (the food pic), the rest we picked, bottled, designed and shot ourselves. Why the hate?pauliusuza
- because these kind of products swarm all over amazon FBA and destroy the environment. You have obviously nothing to do with oils, you just sell it and brand it.mekk
- It's our duty as designers to create decent, well-made products that feed the pretensions of rich egoists and enable us to transfer some of their cashNairn
- ...into our pockets.Nairn
- @mekk, quite on the contrary. It took me a year to learn every bit of the olive oil production process and to put this product together.pauliusuza
- @mekk for posterity, here's a pic of me harvesting olives: https://35north.eu/i…pauliusuza
- amazing, ask anyone who harvests olives, worst fucking job in the world lol._niko
- so maybe you tell your story more, expand the site. Mekk has a point even though he's being a hater :) stand out from the generic crowd. you are your oil._niko
- Thanks @_niko! Will dopauliusuza
- Yeah, the website doesn't quite match the minimalist promise of the item itself..
xNairn - how'd you end up in a small village in crete? i've driven through that village, btw.Gnash
- I didnt mean to insult anyone. Sorry for that. I just hate making overdesigned luxury products out of everyday stuff because I believe this is irresponsiblemekk
- towards our environment. See, every little shit thingy is luxury now and hooh haah everything. We need to stop this excessive consume and and a stupid €40mekk
- olive oil from the other end of the world is the least thing that helps us preserve our world.mekk
- Good point, that’s why I only get local olive oil from Scunthorpe._niko
- ...From the sun drenched groves of Scunthorpe._niko
- Scunthorpe._niko
- mekk's in Germany, not middle England, Niko :)Nairn
- i absolutely loathe rich shit ego bling, but if someone wants to pay over the odds for fancy oil, and uses an efficent global supply chain to do so, so fuck?Nairn
- Yeah exactly, doesnt make sense, should he try buying German olive oil? Should we buy Greek cars? Lol_niko
- I you don't want to understand it then why even try, Niko? I'm not against olive oil. I'm against producing waste to make regular products shiny and expensive.mekk
- Your ire's better aimed at regular needless flights & holidays, cruise ships, big expensive cars, large over-energied houses..Nairn
- ..rather than a limited edition run of a consumable product that simply replaces its like for a period, and then the bottle's often held-onto.Nairn
- Seems a bit pointless, spiteful and impotent to be railing against something as innocuous as this, which a fellow QBNer's obviously put their heart into.Nairn
- I avoid this stuff as much as I avoid the stuff you mentioned, but I primarily try to avoid falling for the thinking behind it.mekk
- I get what you're saying but this isn't putting gold flake on a hamburger and selling it for $100 or tapwater in fancy bottles selling for $10 a pop_niko
- no, it's about selling olive oil for €70/l lolmekk
- Well, I guess I won't be posting my bespoke maple syrup side-hustle for you guys to ripGnash
