Tell us about your creative process.
A. I cannot speak for the olive oil as Nick is a Master Miller and proud of what he produces. But we had to share that great product and as an ex teacher I had a creative flair which my husband allowed me to experiment with. Olive Oil containers can be really boring so we started with a fun label and now have 56 odd designs to share this award winning product in! It has been a fabulosu journey working with various designers and alowing us to just find a good fit for the product and the design.
