Algae Cooking Club Shiitake Mushroom Oil, 7 fl oz

$18.00

The same algae oil, steeped low and slow with shiitake, red miso, black garlic, urfa chili, wakame and kombu. Four of those six are there purely for glutamate, which is a fairly transparent statement of intent.

It is a finishing oil rather than a cooking one. Savoury umami is how the bottle puts it, and heat would only cook off what was steeped in.

Squeeze bottle with a fine tip, so it goes on in lines rather than in puddles. 7 fl oz (207 ml).

The Brand

Algae Cooking Club

Algae Cooking Club makes cooking oil out of microalgae rather than out of a seed or a fruit. The algae are fermented, which takes about three days, and the fat is pressed out of them. It is the first microalgae fat to reach the American market.

The numbers are the argument: a 535F smoke point, higher than avocado oil, and 93% omega-9 monounsaturated fat against 3% omega-6. It sits where a neutral high-heat oil sits, without being a seed oil, which is the whole reason the company exists.

Founded in 2023. Daniel Humm, of the three-Michelin-star Eleven Madison Park, tested it in his own kitchen and then joined as culinary officer.

Pantry FAQs

Pantry items are fulfilled by our partner retailer in California, so they ship on their own and will not arrive in the same box as your wine. Order both and you should expect two parcels, often on different days.

You will receive tracking for the pantry parcel within 3-4 business days.

Wine requires an adult signature on delivery. Pantry items do not, so they can be left at your door like any ordinary parcel.

Yes. Nothing here is tied to a wine purchase. Shipping for pantry items is calculated separately at checkout.

Most of what we carry is shelf stable until it is opened, and would rather sit in a cool dark cupboard than on a sunny counter. Anything that needs refrigerating once opened says so on the label.

Email us with your order number and a photo of the problem and we will make it right.

These are things we actually cook with, picked by the same people who pick the wine. A good bottle tends to want something on the table next to it, and this is the shortlist we would hand a friend who asked.
