The new
“Fresh Cap” will pave the way for more environmentally sustainable olive oil
packaging due to the greater recyclability of materials
Corfu,
Greece [May 16, 2024] - Neolea, an award-winning olive oil and premium goods
brand, is set to redefine the olive oil market with the introduction of the
first-ever extra virgin olive oil packaged in eco-friendly aluminum cans
equipped with a unique and reusable “Fresh Cap”. This innovative approach will
enhance the customer experience and address environmental concerns, setting a
new standard for sustainability and quality in the market.
The “Fresh
Cap” is designed to protect the integrity, freshness, and flavor of Neolea’s
premium olive oil, while offering a spill-free, flow-controlled pouring
experience and the ability to reseal the can for future use. The cap is also
dishwasher safe, easy to use, and perfect for maintaining the olive oil's
pristine condition between uses.
"Neolea
has long been a pioneer in olive oil innovation, committed to elevating both
product quality and the consumer experience." stated Daan Tolk, CEO of
Neolea. "This commitment is embodied in our latest innovation, the “Fresh
Cap”, developed to ensure the perfect pour and maintain the impeccable
freshness of our olive oil. We’re looking forward to launching a healthier
solution for our environment, customers, and suppliers.”
“Recycling
aluminum consumes approximately 95% less energy than producing new aluminum
from raw materials, and it can be recycled indefinitely without any loss of
quality, making it an exceptionally sustainable option. These factors make
aluminum the preferred material for reducing environmental impact in product
packaging, providing both economic and ecological advantages. At Neolea, we are
deeply passionate about maintaining the highest quality in our products and are
committed to a healthier world, which drives our choice of aluminum for this
new line, aligning our environmental goals with our dedication to superior
quality."
Partnering
with leading design agencies in the United States and Europe, the company aims
to introduce this new packaging exclusively to US natural- and specialty
grocery stores in late 2024, reflecting Neolea’s ongoing mission to deliver
superior products that honor the Greek heritage and environmental
responsibilities.
