Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Grovehood Collective redefines olive oil branding by blending heritage with modern elegance. As the Netherlands' first transparent extra virgin olive oil brand, it sources from family-run, earth-friendly farms. The vintage inspired label, with refined typography, and custom cut design reflects craftsmanship and authenticity. Earthy yet vibrant colors distinguish each variant, while premium packaging invites consumers to explore the rich journey of this high-quality, traceable olive oil.
- Inspiration

Another creative challenge was to color match the different materials. The bottle labels are printed on PP while the pouches are printed on a layered plastic material. The color
