What is olive smoking wood?
Olive smoking wood is made from the wood of olive trees. This wood has a dense structure and contains natural aromatic properties that provide a spicy, slightly earthy smoke.
When heated, olive smoking chunks produce a steady smoke development with a warm flavor depth. The intensity of the profile is between fruit trees and oak, but with a unique Mediterranean twist.
