Çig Yag: The Unique Olive Oil Bottle

A Porcelain Masterpiece by Taris Zeytin A.S

The story of Çiğ Yağ begins with the careful selection of hand-collected olives, nature's gift to humankind. These olives are immediately ground in granite stone mills and put into special bags. The bags are then piled up, allowing the oil to naturally drain by the paste's own weight. This precious juice, known as Çiğ Yağ, is not thermally processed or hydro-pressed, making it as valuable as breast milk in terms of its vitamins and nutritional value. To showcase this unique olive oil, a special bottle was needed. The design had to convey the message of tradition, uniqueness, and power.
