1 pound bag of untoasted French oak chips for winemaking and beverage aging. Ideal for adding subtle oak structure and raw wood character in a more controlled way, these chips are made in the USA and packaged in a convenient size for home and small batch use.
North Mountain Supply French oak chips in an untoasted 1 pound format offer a flexible option for winemakers and beverage makers who want to introduce oak influence without the added toast character found in medium or heavy toasted products. Because these chips are untoasted, they are better suited for applications where you want a more natural oak profile and the ability to build flavor gradually.
French oak is commonly chosen for its refined character and balanced contribution to structure and mouthfeel. In chip form, it provides a practical alternative to barrels and larger oak adjuncts, especially for:
Home winemaking
Small batch aging trials
Split batch experiments
Controlled oak additions in tanks, carboys or other vessels
Untoasted French oak chips can be used when you want to explore:
Subtle wood influence without pronounced toast notes
Added structure and texture
More direct control over contact time and oak intensity
This 1 pound bag offers enough product for multiple batches or larger volume projects, depending on your usage rate and desired level of oak expression. Chip additions are typically easier to measure, easier to remove and more cost effective than barrel aging for many small producers.
