Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

The Holm Oak tree (Quercus Ilex) is a hard, dense and aromatic hard wood, highly regarded for its long burn characteristic and authentic use in wood-fired oven cooking.It has a long burn profile and beautifully sweet aromatics of woodland, black pepper and cinnamon with an intense caramel undertone. This is the oak which grows the acorns, which feed the Ibérico pigs called ‘pata negra’ that go on to make beautiful Jamón Ibérico.The best sign that a charcoal is good is when you feel like using it again. This happens when you make your holm oak charcoal in the traditional way with only holm oak wood from controlled felling and thinning of Spanish forests and hills. The area where this charcoal is produced is home to the highest density of holm oak trees in the world.It makes sense. Controlled production in small ovens, using only fine holm oak wood, guarantees balanced cooking. And the slow cooling to which we subject it, without using water in the process, provides a charcoal of unbeatable quality.Very easy to light. No smoke or sparks. Its long life allows you to cook for several hours and give your dishes a premium aroma that you will hardly forget. We are convinced that you will succeed!

We've bought these bags of charcoal a few times now. It is the best one out there for both regular barbecuing and low temperature smoking. It keeps temperature and lasts longer than others we've tried. It loses one star for being too expensive. The sale price is now more than the regular price used to be a couple years ago. I've tried to find holm oak charcoal elsewhere but Basco seems to be the only supplier.

I’ve been buying Holm oak charcoal for years but my recent regular distributor has been out of stock for a long time so I bought this not knowing if this was going to be the same and I’m pleased to report the quality is just as good!
