This Josper Holm Oak Charcoal is made from the hard, dense, and aromatic Holm Oak tree (Quercus Ilex). It's highly regarded for its long burn characteristic and authentic use in wood-fired oven cooking. The charcoal has a long burn profile and beautifully sweet aromatics of woodland, black pepper, and cinnamon with an intense caramel undertone. The Holm Oak tree is the same species that grows the acorns, which feed the Ibérico pigs called 'pata negra' that go on to make beautiful Jamón Ibérico. This charcoal is produced 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. The controlled production in small ovens, using only fine Holm Oak wood, guarantees balanced cooking. The slow cooling process, without using water, provides a charcoal of uniform quality.
