Passanha’s black label extra virgin olive oil is the latest to come from the celebrated makers of gourmet olive oil and vinegar, Herdeiros Passanha, a family-owed company located just south of Lisbon. As a tribute of respect to their grandfather, Passanha named their top-range olive oil Dom Diogo after the adventurous forefather who was “respectful of tradition yet looking for modernity”—a perfect fit for an oil produced from three varieties of olives.
International design firm Base introduced a luxurious new matte black design to celebrate the launch of the premier olive oil. The design of the packaging is a further iteration of Base’s collaboration with Hong Kong-based designer, Michael Young, on the AIGA award-winning bottles for Passanha’s popular Quinta de São Vicente Olive Oil. The bottle silhouette represents an olive press divided into upper and lower parts by a horizontal ridge and features the signature drop that comprises the brand’s graphic identity. The matte black coating is complemented by a contemporary stencil typeface, a reference to the handmade tradition of the Portuguese olive oil.
