BUTELI®

Buteli® is an extra virgin olive oil in a small production, exclusively from olives growing in the magnificent olive groves of Corfu.

The word 'Buteli' originates in the Venetian dialect and is part of the corfiot traditional language. In the past, it was used to describe the shop where the Corfiot producers were selling the olive oil of their harvest.

It is only sold in selected points and in exceptionally small quantities, in limited edition glass bottles 500 ml, with a wooden handmade cap, created from olive branches that have been selected and processed after pruning.

The importance of glass packaging

Glass is a natural product that remains unchanged, so it is considered the healthiest packaging material. Since it is inert, it does not react to foreign substances and does not absorb them. Due to its molecular structure, it is practically impermeable to oxygen. This is very important for products that are sensitive to oxygen, like olive oil. Thus, components such as flavor and vitamins are retained for a long time without the need of a chemical additive. Glass is 100% pure; is created by three raw materials found in abundance in nature: sand, sodium carbonate and marble dust. It contains no toxic chemicals, so it is harmless to people and the environment.

Prizes

The glass bottle of the extra virgin oil Buteli was awarded at the EBGE ceremony (Greek Graphic Design and Illustration Awards), for the work of the Chris Trivizas creative agency. The concept and design of the glass bottle received the award in the 'Olive Oil Packaging' category, following up on the awarded design tradition, set off by extra virgin olive oil Kopos.
