"A commonly mentioned panacea was 'tutty,' charred scrapings from inside chimneys. According to Francesco Pegolotti, tutty was imported from Alexandria, so obviously a routine European chimney would not suffice. Tutty was considered a spice as it was nonperishable, imported, fragrant (after a fashion), sold in small quantities, and expensive."
