Buenaventura Estudio designed the simple yet elegant packaging for Lucio Olive Oil.

“Lucio is the name by which the Olea Europaea Argentata is commonly called, an ancient olive variety that, although now almost extinct, was once the predominant one in southern Europe; where he arrived back in the seventh century.”

“The chronicles of Al-Tignari, an Andalusian agronomist of the twelfth century, tell us that in the year 634 there was a terrible drought that devastated the Iberian Peninsula for eight years. Dry fountains, rivers, and most of the olive trees existing since Phoenician times and that the Romans took their peak. It was then that Olivo Lucio was introduced to repopulate the olive grove of al-Ándalus with specimens brought in by boat from Ifriqiyya (present-day Tunisia), becoming the predominant variety until practically the 20th century when, due to its low productivity and difficult mechanization in its collection, they have made it practically disappear from the fields, leaving few survival redoubts in a small area of southern Spain.”
