Description
YIAYIA AND FRIENDS · Crete, Greece
The olive oil you don’t hide in the cupboard. You put it on the table — and explain where it’s from.
Some gifts say “I thought of you.” The Love Edition says something more specific. The label carries the message: a love-themed limited-edition design by Beetroot Design Group, the award-winning studio from Thessaloniki that turned a Cretan family olive harvest into one of the most recognised bottles in the world. Inside: 100% cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Crete — the island at the heart of the Mediterranean diet. Outside: packaging that won the Red Dot: Best of the Best 2024, the highest distinction the competition awards.
The name “yiayia” is the Greek word for grandmother — not a brand mascot but an archetype. “Someone we trusted unconditionally, a fountain of deep knowledge — even though she only completed primary school. Her knowledge was derived from life and from love.” The eye on every bottle is the brand’s silent logo: a protective symbol rooted in Greek tradition that watches over you without needing to explain itself.
Customers on Bloomingdale’s are consistent: “Great oil and the packaging makes it a cute gift.” On Thingtesting, it holds a 4.8 out of 5 — with buyers writing: “I bought this because it looked cute. Would I buy it again? As a gift, absolutely.”
This is the bottle for Valentine’s Day when flowers feel predictable. For the dinner host who already has candles. For the thank-you that needs to say more than a card. The Love Edition label makes the occasion visible without a word of your own.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the Love Edition the right gift for?
Anyone who appreciates beautiful things and good food — particularly someone who already has everything. It works for Valentine’s Day, a dinner party host, a birthday with no obvious wishlist, or a thank-you that needs more weight than flowers. The Love Edition label makes the occasion clear without explanation.
What makes olive oil from Crete special?
Crete is one of the oldest centres of olive cultivation in the Mediterranean — the island most closely associated with the origins of the Mediterranean diet. The climate, soil and generations of accumulated knowledge produce oils with a distinctive richness. Cold-pressing preserves that character in full: no heat, no shortcuts, just the fruit.
Is the Love Edition oil different from the regular yiayia and friends oil?
No — and that’s worth saying clearly. The oil inside is the same quality cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Crete. What changes is the label: the Love Edition features a limited-edition love-themed design. If you’re choosing between editions, you’re choosing a mood, not a different product.
Why did an olive oil bottle win a Red Dot Award?
The Red Dot: Best of the Best is the highest distinction in the Red Dot competition — awarded not simply for attractive packaging, but for design that communicates something true about what it contains. Beetroot Design Group built the yiayia and friends visual language around a single idea: the trust and warmth of a Greek grandmother. The eye motif, the label typography, the bottle form — everything carries that story without contradiction. The jury recognised that coherence.
Can I use this oil daily, or is it mainly for gifting?
Both. Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is a kitchen staple — it works raw over salads, bread, vegetables and white cheese, and equally well as a finishing drizzle on warm dishes. The glass bottle looks good enough to keep permanently on the counter, which means you’ll actually reach for it. Many customers order it as a gift and buy a second bottle for themselves.
What does this olive oil work best with?
At its best raw: over ripe tomatoes, fresh bread, grilled fish or good white cheese. Put it in the centre of the table and leave it there. It also finishes warm dishes well — pasta, roasted vegetables, soups. The kind of oil that improves whatever it touches.
