Algae Cooking Club Unveils Two Infused Algae Oils With Eleven Madison Park's Daniel Humm

After more than a year in the making, Algae Cooking Club is unveiling two infused oils dreamed up by Chef Daniel Humm and his team at Eleven Madison Park. The brand’s latest additions, Gochugaru Chili Oil and Shiitake Mushroom Oil, will be available for purchase starting October 15th.

Each infused oil combines a distinctive blend of global spices and is crafted exactly as the team does at Eleven Madison Park. The oils are steeped, much like tea, but with high-quality culinary algae oil, simmered low and slow with a unique mix of spices for over eight hours. This slow infusion creates the rich, layered flavors reminiscent of dining at Eleven Madison Park.

"What excites me about working with algae oil is how clean and precise the flavors are,” said Chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park. “Every spice we use in these oils has a voice, and you can taste each one in perfect harmony. It’s a beautiful way to highlight ingredients at their best." 

Meet the New Flavors: 

• Gochugaru Chili Oil - Add Aromatic Heat To Any Dish
• An aromatic gochugaru chili oil with notes of caraway, cinnamon, and star anise. Spicy, yet not overpowering. Crafted using nine whole spices, this infusion features balanced layers of warmth and spice, Making it the perfect drizzle to spice up eggs, elevate vinaigrettes, season soups, and, of course, take your pizza to the next level. The spices: Gochugaru Chili, Sichuan Peppercorn, Red Chili Flake, Caraway, Bay Leaf Dried, Star Anise, Clove,  Black Cardamom, Cinnamon Stick.

• Shiitake Mushroom Oil - Add Savory Umami To Any Dish
• An earthy mushroom and miso oil with the depth of wakame and a slight kick of urfa chili. It adds that umami depth of flavor that typically takes hours to produce in a squeeze. An ideal companion for folding into rice, topping ramen, enhancing roasted veggies, or adding depth to a bolognese. The Spices: Dried Shitake, Red Miso, Black Garlic, Urfa Chili, Wakame, Shio Kombu

Algae Cooking Club’s Infused Oils are all about versatility—perfect for seasoning a broth or marinade, low-heat cooking, whisking into dressings, or adding using as a finishing oil. Creating these oils for home chefs wasn’t an easy task. With Chef Humm’s expertise, each oil brings the high-quality, layered flavors you would expect from a three Michelin-star kitchen.

"It took us a year to figure out how to replicate the steeping process we use at Eleven Madison Park on a larger scale. It wasn’t easy, and it’s definitely not cheap, but the results are delicious, and we think they’re worth it," said Kasra Saidi, co-founder of Algae Cooking Club. 

Just in time for the holiday season, Algae Cooking Club is offering a special Holiday Bundle featuring the original algae cooking oil alongside both new infused oils. Priced at $60, it’s the perfect gift for anyone who appreciates chef-worthy flavors and unique ingredients.
