Flavor, Appearance, and Waste

Hi, Jeremiah here. This is my first post. Look for more in the near future.

Some of you may have noticed one of our recent experiments: flavored oils. We’re making these almost completely from things that usually get tossed away. So far, we’ve experimented with three flavors; paprika oil, made from some paprika that we have had on hand for a while; herb oil, made from the stems of the herbs we chop up;and lemon oil, made from the zest of the lemons we squeeze for lemon juice. Not only are they tasty, but the colors are rocking! We get those colors by filtering them through layers of cheese cloth at a cold temperature. This helps the oil hold the colors better, and be more vibrant. Look for these and maybe a few more things to start making some appearances helping garnish soups this week.
