Smoking Wood Chips – Olive 700 gr

Give dishes a Mediterranean character

Olive wood smoking chips give dishes a mild, spicy smoky aroma with a distinctive Mediterranean touch. The fine chips are made from 100% pure olive wood and contain no additives or treatments.

The wood is slowly and naturally dried for even, clean smoke production. Thanks to their small size, the chips ignite quickly, making them ideal for shorter grilling sessions and preparations that need an extra burst of flavor right away.

What does olive wood smoke taste like?

Olive wood has a refined smoke profile that is mild enough for delicate ingredients, while still adding enough character to meat, fish, and vegetables. The smoke is lightly spicy and aromatic, without quickly overpowering the dish.

This makes Olive wood smoking chips particularly suitable when you want to add a distinctive smoky flavor while keeping the natural taste of your ingredients at the forefront.

Which dishes pair well with Olive wood smoking chips?

Olive wood pairs excellently with Mediterranean ingredients and preparations. Use the smoking chips with, among other things:

• Lamb and lamb chops
• Chicken and other poultry
• Fish and shellfish
• Grilled vegetables
• Potatoes and Mediterranean oven dishes
• Cheese and other refined ingredients

Combine the smoke with herbs such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, and garlic for a complete Mediterranean flavor profile.

How to use smoking chips

Sprinkle a small amount of chips directly onto the glowing charcoal for quick smoke production. On a gas barbecue, or when you want more control, you can use the chips in a suitable smoker box.

Close the lid after adding them so the smoke can circulate around the dish. Keep the vents partially open for clean combustion and thin, light-blue smoke. Thick white smoke can cause a sharp or bitter taste.

Start with a small amount. You can always add more chips during cooking when you want a stronger smoky aroma.

Ideal for shorter cooking times

Smoking chips release their aroma faster than larger smoking wood chunks. This makes them particularly suitable for ingredients with a relatively short cooking time, such as fish, chicken, vegetables, and smaller cuts of meat.

For long low & slow preparations, larger pieces of smoking wood are often more practical. Read more about the difference on the page smoking chips or chunks.

100% pure and naturally dried olive wood

The Olive smoking chips consist entirely of pure olive wood. No artificial flavors, additives, or chemical treatments are used. The natural drying process helps the wood smoke evenly and prevents unwanted off-flavors.

Combine the chips with high-quality kamado charcoal for a stable fire and good temperature control.
