Algae Cooking Club
Algae Cooking Club impresses in reviews for clean, neutral-tasting algae oil that handles high heat (around a 535°F smoke point), delivers crisp results, and comes in ergonomic squeeze bottles that control pour. Reviews also flag shortcomings: flavored oils can taste underwhelming or one‑dimensional, occasional sticking or residue for eggs, leaky caps, and requests for clearer nutritional and sourcing transparency—making the original oil a strong everyday cooker while the lineup still matures.

I really like the squeeze bottles. It’s a nice neutral oil and you’re able to use it at higher temps. The flavors of the other oils are pretty nice. Still trying to figure out recipes to use them in. Overall pretty satisfied! Nice alternative to seed oils

Have seen Algae Cooking Club out on my social media - especially with the new roasted garlic oil from Nara Smith's collab. With the holidays and the ThingDrop, I thought it would be a great opportunity to try the holiday feast bundle which included two bottles of algae oil, and a mushroom and chili infused oil. I was excited to try the algae oil since it's high heat and neutral flavoring, but I was pleasantly surprised that the mouthfeel was really light. It changes an aspect to the food you cook, although it's subtle. It isn't typically used as a finishing oil which is the only "limitation" of this oil. The flavored oils were delicious and adds another layer of flavor. For example, I used the mushroom and chili oil on some savory oats with mushrooms. I could see a simple lunch of a fried egg with hot rice flavored with these oils. Excited to see what else ACC comes out with!

I’ve been really enjoying Algae Cooking Club oil. It’s a great, healthier alternative to canola, peanut, and avocado oils, and it performs beautifully. It pours easily but doesn't dump out too much at all. Bonus points for the beautiful packaging! It looks great on my kitchen counter. I was especially excited to try the Gochugaru Chili Oil. It smells incredible, but I was a bit disappointed by the lack of heat--it didn’t have much of a kick at all. I also had some trouble removing the safety seal. My husband didn't like the taste of the chili oil and said that it tasted like seaweed to him. We'll probably give this one to a friend. One note, it took them quite a while to ship out the oil--I think around 6 days. But once it shipped, it reached me very quickly. Overall though, the oils are high quality, and I’ll definitely keep using the original cooking oil!

I’ve been obsessed with algae since I read the book “Slime” by Ruth Kassinger. About 5-8 years ago, there was a different brand of algae oil called Thrive and I was so upset when it was discontinued. Enter Algae Cooking Club! I am an immediate fan and love the concept of using their algae oil as my go-to high-heat cooking oil. Better for you, better for the planet, what is not to like?
