Vegan Smoked Olive Oil

We started Holy Smoke and came up with the idea for our first product, hickory smoked olive oil, one year when Kyle and his wife, Grace, were making Christmas gifts for their friends and family during lean times. Kyle was smoking a big batch of sea salt when a bottle of olive oil caught his eye and he thought, "Why not?" It turned out that his relatives absolutely loved it and requested it year after year. The problem that he had encountered was that extra virgin olive oil needed to be cold-smoked in order to stay raw and retain all of its chemical and nutritional properties...

Kyle and I met working at a restaurant on Folly Beach, SC. He was a cook and I was a server. We had become friends over our tenure there and one night after work over drinks, Kyle confided in me his idea to bottle this wonderful product. I thought it was a great idea, so I devised a prototype in my head and went home and put it together. We tested it, took it to the Department of Agriculture, and suddenly we had a product.
