The secondary packaging for the 50ml bottle of olive oil requires effort to open, in a way that reminds of unearthing a real treasure. The interactive package boasts a [stone-inspired shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romantica-jar) that is made from recycled paper pulp, which must be [shattered to access the bottle inside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-51). On the inside of the packaging, a silk paper wrap protects the premium glass bottle, which is bright in contrast to the dull, soil-like color of the exterior.
