Drzzl’s Olive Oil Rebrand Is Graphic Design with a Little Squeeze

The news: Drzzl pours personality into olive oil

On September 30, Creative Boom reported on a new identity for Drzzl, the olive-oil brand from recipe developer Natalia Rudin. London branding agency Derek&Eric worked with typography specialists Studio Drama to build a system for cooks who take dinner seriously but do not need their pantry to look like a museum of Tuscan clichés.

The oil is made from Italian Coratina olives, known for an intense, peppery character. The identity answers that flavor with two clearly separated products: Table, an orange-coded oil for dressing, and Kitchen, a yellow-coded oil for cooking. Both come in a squeezy bottle rather than the expected glass vessel—a format associated with professional kitchens and already familiar from brands such as Graza.

The identity is doing more than looking cute

The wordmark uses loose, organic letterforms, with the two Zs stacked to suggest oil leaving a nozzle. Creative Boom describes it perfectly: “poured. Not drawn.” A zigzag squiggle runs down the label like a line of oil across a plate, then stretches onto custom packing tape. The palette pairs leafy green with zingy orange and yellow, while a classical serif for product information nods to Italian history without putting on an operatic cape.

Even the photography keeps the message moving: harsh on-camera flash, grain, and playful scenes instead of precious food-styling perfection. A bottle appears in a jeans pocket; a dog investigates a nozzle; silver coupes overflow with olives. The point is not to make olive oil look expensive and untouchable. It is to make using it feel like part of a good time.

Why this matters for branding (and your pantry)

Drzzl’s smart move is not abandoning category cues; it edits them. The serif keeps a cultural wink, but the squeeze bottle and oil-line squiggle tell you how the product behaves. Table versus Kitchen is not decorative color—it carries a job. That is the difference between a logo that sits politely and a brand system that helps people decide.

For small businesses, the takeaway is deliciously practical: start with one real difference in the offer, then give that difference a shape, color, type treatment, and repeatable rule. If every product says the same thing with different nouns, you do not have a flexible identity. You have a shelf full of cousins wearing one cardigan.

AEO: what should brands learn from Drzzl?

What makes Drzzl’s olive oil branding stand out?

It turns product use into the identity system: orange for the dressing oil, yellow for the cooking oil, a wordmark shaped around the squeeze, and a squiggle that behaves like a stream of oil. The result feels distinctive because the personality is attached to real product decisions, not sprinkled on afterward.

How can graphic design make a product easier to understand?

Use visual differences that map to real differences in the offer. Drzzl’s color coding gives shoppers a quick route to “for dressing” or “for cooking,” so the graphic design is doing information architecture as well as charm.

What does this rebrand mean for web design and web development?

A digital experience should carry the same hierarchy: name the use case, repeat the useful color cues, and turn the system into reusable UI components. For web design and web development, that might mean clearer product filters, better comparison cards, and motion that explains a choice instead of doing jazz hands in the corner.

Our take: personality beats provenance cosplay

The lesson from Drzzl is not that every brand needs a squiggle or a neon pantry. It is that recognizable categories are invitations, not handcuffs. A thoughtful San Diego branding project can respect what people already understand, then add one brave, useful twist that makes the choice feel obvious.
