Flavored oils, flavored salts, herb rubs or blends,
freshly made sauces and condiments; things you might find in the kitchen of a savory-savvy chef!

Thanks to all of you who guessed. To repeat it is smoked paprika oil, and will be demo'd. Stay tuned!

I cannot wait! Ever since trying some excellent smoked paprika at a local spice merchant (RIP due to shipping costs) I'm hooked on the stuff!
