Algae Cooking Club
Algae Cooking Club earns broadly positive reviews for a clean, neutral, slightly buttery oil that excels at high-heat cooking and sustainability claims, suggesting it works well for searing, stir‑fries, and everyday use. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some find the plain oil underwhelming or eggs sticking, flavored oils (shiitake, gochugaru) read muted or one‑dimensional, and packaging quirks like plastic squeeze bottles or leaky caps appear; still, many prefer the control of the nozzle and the slim, attractive bottles.

Love the algae cooking oil. I’ve been looking for alternatives from avocado oil so I was super excited to try this since it has a high smoke point and is not a saturated refined processed oil. The buttery taste is amazing and it pairs well with meats. Only downside is that it comes in plastic container. Which it came in a glass bottle. Other than that amazing!

This cooking oil has been a great addition to our stove side rotation. Because of the high smoke point we have been using it a lot more this season and the flavor is light and not overpowering. I would use it when you’re less looking about highlighting the fat flavor.

Lives up to the hype and is officially a permanent fixture in my daily cooking! Super light feel and neutral taste, which is perfect for my eggs in the morning and good for any hot oil sauces like chili crisp or ginger-scallion, etc. Quality was obvious right away and the price point is higher than typical supermarket oils, so I don’t use this for baking or any big batch cooking like deep frying. This also has a super high smoke point, so it’s been extremely useful for searing meats and for South Asian cooking! The glass bottles are slim enough that they’re easy to pick up with one hand and they fit neatly on my spice rack in my tiny New York City kitchen. I love how convenient the little squeezy bottle is, but I don’t love the idea of oil sitting in a plastic container all the time. Maybe that’s not an issue if you’re using the oil quickly and refilling often? I also bought the Roasted Garlic Oil, which was tasty and I plan to wash off the label and reuse the glass bottle. It’s not worth the influencer collab in my opinion, but I’m glad I purchased the bundle because it came with an oil spout. Would prefer to just make my own garlic confit and save the reserve oil for cooking, instead of paying for another already-expensive product. The original cooking oil is versatile and definitely worth the price!

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!
