Bluegum smoke oil is a complementary product to Paperbark smoke oil and while paperbark has a full smoke taste, just like baking food wrapped in paperbark, Bluegum smoke oil is more reminiscent of a backyard BBQ. It has a more subtle impact yet is clean and distinctive and quite unlike the harsher wood smokes of mesquite or hickory commonly used in American cuisine.
Try Bluegum smoke oil in dressings and mayonnaise or simply use it as a splash over prepared pasta or pesto, cooked vegetables and grilled meats, poultry and seafood. It is best used in cooking as a finishing splash rather than a marinating oil. Add other Australian seasonings, herbs and spices for more complexity. Even test out some Bluegum smoked ice cream or other dairy desserts.
