Description
YIAYIA AND FRIENDS · Crete, Greece
The only olive oil on the table nobody puts away.
Most olive oil bottles go into a cupboard the moment they’re opened. This one stays on the table. Beetroot Design Group — the award-winning design studio from Thessaloniki — built the yiayia and friends bottle to hold its place in a kitchen permanently: a glass object with enough presence to earn a spot on the counter long after the oil inside is gone.
The oil is 100% cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Crete — the island at the heart of the Mediterranean diet, with some of the oldest olive cultivation traditions in the world. The name “yiayia” is the Greek word for grandmother: not a fictional character but an archetype. “Someone we trusted unconditionally — a fountain of deep knowledge derived from life and from love.” The eye on every bottle is the brand’s silent logo: a protective symbol rooted in Greek tradition. “With a bottle this beautiful, you’ll be happy to serve it directly on the table.”
This is the housewarming gift for the person who loves to cook. The birthday present for someone who would genuinely use this every day. The bottle that starts as a gift and ends as a kitchen fixture.

Frequently asked questions
What does this olive oil work best with?
At its best raw: over fresh bread, ripe tomatoes, grilled fish or good white cheese. Put it in the centre of the table and let people help themselves. It finishes warm dishes equally well — pasta, roasted vegetables, soups. Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Crete is the kind of oil that belongs in the middle of every meal.
What makes Crete special as an origin?
Crete is one of the oldest centres of olive cultivation in the Mediterranean and the island most closely associated with the origins of the Mediterranean diet. The climate, soil and centuries of accumulated knowledge produce oils with a distinctive richness. Cold-pressing preserves that character in full — no heat, no shortcuts.
Is there a smaller or larger format available?
The 500 ml bottle is the format available at Charles & Marie. Check the current product range for any additional sizes in stock.
Who is behind yiayia and friends?
The brand was created by Beetroot Design Group, an internationally recognised design studio founded over 20 years ago in Thessaloniki, Greece. The idea began with something personal: co-founder Kostas had olive trees in his family village in Crete. Vangelis Liakos of Beetroot turned that into a brand built around the archetype of the Greek grandmother — a figure of unconditional trust and knowledge derived from life rather than institution.
Is this a good gift?
One of the better ones. A 500 ml bottle of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Crete, in a glass bottle designed by an award-winning studio, at a price point that works for almost any occasion. It suits birthdays, housewarmings, host gifts and thank-yous — particularly for anyone who cooks or appreciates beautiful everyday objects.
