Smokey Olive Wood is a Belgian brand specialising in Mediterranean smoking woods. Their olive chunks are cut into 5-15cm pieces — a convenient size to place on a kamado or grill bed. Olive wood (Olea europaea) has very high density, which translates into slow combustion and a sweet, herbal aromatic profile very different from American hickory. It's the natural pick when you want smoke that pairs with Mediterranean cuisine.
The smoking wood that finally tastes Mediterranean — sweet, mild and perfect with lamb, fish and vegetables.
