THE SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY
Azorean Orange Blossom
This butterfly’s swallow-like tails mimic antennae, which together with two red and blue ‘false eyes’ confuse predators into thinking it is a two-headed butterfly
Paraphrasing a mr J. Steinbeck, ‘A journey is a hitchhiker in itself; no two are alike’
At hitchhiker, we like to do things a little differently. Each one of our products is represented by a creature (the hitchhiker); a creature which is synonymous with the landscape that each product garners it’s signature ingredient from.
Forget, for the moment, the negative connotations associated with creatures hitchhiking the globe - we see it as more of a metaphor - the sheer impact that one small creature can have. Hitchhiker embodies this magnitude through utterly unique taste.
