I made this several months ago and forgot to review it. I also made the Annatto Oil from scratch. As suggested, I froze it in ice cube trays and use a cube or two when needed. The flavor is so fresh and bright. Even after being frozen for a couple of months it still brightened up a small pot of soup I made and gave it a wonderful depth of flavor. This is a definite winner!
