Holy Smoke Olive Oil Reviews

Unique Product: Holy Smoke offers a distinctive product—extra virgin olive oil that is cold-smoked with hickory wood, creating a rich, buttery flavor with savory smoke and subtle pepper notes. This gives it a taste often described as "liquid bacon," appealing to those who enjoy smoky flavors in cooking.

Natural and High Quality: The olive oil is 100% natural, raw, vegan, and free from additives. It is cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil smoked at low temperatures (around 37°F) to preserve its nutritional properties and flavor integrity.

Versatile Usage: The smoked olive oil can be used to finish steaks, pork, fish, poultry or even flavor popcorn. It pairs well with various vinegars for salads as well.

Innovative Smoking Process: The company developed a special machine to cold-smoke the oil without using liquid smoke or additives. This ensures authenticity in the smoking process while maintaining quality.

Availability: Their products are available nationwide at Whole Foods Market, Harris Teeter, Earth Fare stores as well as direct purchase from their website.

Unique smoky flavor without heat damage: Unlike traditional smoking methods that can degrade olive oil quality due to heat exposure, this product maintains its health benefits by cold-smoking at low temperatures.

Healthful alternative to bacon flavoring: Offers a savory "liquid bacon" taste while being plant-based and heart-friendly due to its extra virgin olive oil base.

Enhances food flavors naturally: Adds depth and complexity to dishes without overpowering them or requiring additional seasoning.

Widely available in stores nationwide, including Whole Foods Market and Harris Teeter for convenient purchase.

Flavor May Not Appeal to Everyone: While many enjoy the smoky buttery taste reminiscent of bacon fat, some may find the smokiness overpowering or not appealing depending on personal preference.

Price Point: At around $15 for 250ml (8.5oz), it might be considered pricey compared to regular olive oils due to its specialty nature.

Limited Product Range Initially: Although they have expanded into other smoked products like honey and black pepper recently, their core offering remains niche.

Honey Crystallization Issue (Related Product): Some customers have reported crystallization issues with their smoked wildflower honey product which may affect customer satisfaction for those interested in their broader range of items.
