'Oh My Gold' is a premium product line that contains edible flakes of gold. Although this seems fairly decadent, the packaging designed by the Greece-based G Design Studio is quite unpretentious.

The premium products include olive oil, jam and honey that are a step up from other ordinary spreads. Aside from containing gold flakes, olive oil is commonly referred to as liquid gold. The [olive oil bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-drizz) show off the golden color of the olive oil and the boxes that contain the Oh My Gold take their inspiration from [bars of gold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peroni-nastro-azzurro-gold-bottle). Beyond olive oil, branding for these gold-infused edibles has also been adapted for spreads like [marmalade and honey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mccormick-gourmet-collection). Although these don't have the same brilliant golden hue as olive oil, the golden flakes make the sweet spreads extra decadent.
