Selected for food smoking techniques, this natural sawdust produces aromatic and controlled smoke with a smoking gun, smoking dome, or gourmet smoker. The manufacturer specifies a composition of 95% almond wood dry extract, with a low amount of resin and residue.
Aladin Chips Almendro are aimed at chefs, bartenders, and mixologists who want to work with an elegant smoke that is more original than classic woods like beech or oak. Almond wood develops a sweet, subtly floral aromatic note with a Mediterranean identity that is very interesting for contemporary cuisine and smoked cocktail presentation.
This type of sawdust is particularly suitable for delicate products. The manufacturer specifically recommends its use for smoking fish, poultry, and lamb, while noting that it can also be used on other foods due to its low resin and residue content.
In mixology, Aladin Chips Almendro allow for a spectacular visual effect under a dome while adding a softer smoky touch than very powerful woods. They are suitable for cocktails based on rum, whiskey, vermouth, mezcal, citrus, dried fruit, honey, herbs, or sweet spices.
Place a small amount of sawdust in your smoking gun or smoker, then light briefly to generate consistent smoke. For slower combustion, you can lightly moisten the sawdust with water, as recommended by the manufacturer.
For a cocktail, a few seconds are usually enough to flavor the glass or the space under the dome. For food, adjust the exposure time according to the desired aromatic intensity. The goal is to provide an elegant smoky note without masking the taste of the product.
