Shiitake Mushroom Oil
Algae Cooking Club is offering discounts if you purchase two or more bottles of their oil, and I wouldn’t pass up on this opportunity. I came across this company when I was working on a mushroom-themed gift guide, and I can never go back. They offer plenty of variations of their infamous algae oil, but so far, my favorite has been the shiitake mushroom-infused bottle that delivers the perfect umami kick to any recipe.
Crafted in collaboration with Eleven Madison Park and Chef Daniel Humm, it’s layered with dried shiitake, red miso, black miso, kombu, urfa chili, wakame, and vitamin E. It’s 100 percent high-oleic algae oil, meaning 25 percent more Omega-9s and 75 percent less saturated fat than olive or avocado oil. I toss into fried rice, grilled veggies, and broths. Savory, smoky, and deeply earthy.
