Saffron

This 100 % pure Spanish Saffron features superior grade quality. 

It takes over 200.000 flower heads to produce half a pound of Spanish saffron.

Spanish Saffron is the finest spice in the world. Hand harvested from the Crocus Sativus flower, this is the absolutely indispensable ingredient in Spanish and Italian cooking.   

The Spanish Saffron accounts for a small portion of the world's production, but the quality is unmistakably superior to that grown in Turkey, Iran, and India.

These Deep red threads (stigma) contain no waste or white plant parts (styles) that reduce the quality or add to cost; only the best of the best in our supplies!

Tips for use of Saffron: We recommend 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Saffron threads be added to a recipe that serves 6-8 people. Saffron releases it's flavour when heated, thus it is important to add the saffron before the dish is done cooking.

You may add the saffron directly to the dish, or infuse it in warm liquid to release the flavour.

Feel free to experiment by making a saffron "tea" by using water or broth and add to your favourite recipe.

Some traditional recipes recommend gently toasting the saffron in a skillet (being careful not to burn) and then grinding prior to adding to the dish.

Saffron is known to be the world’s most expensive spice that is present as a flavour in delicious cuisine as well as a major substance found in beauty products. This star ingredient is known to have so many uses in multiple fields as its health benefits are immense and various. It is no secret that people around the world love saffron for its aroma and its inherent qualities. Yet, it is so expensive because the saffron flower only grows during a particular season and is found only in certain regions. If you are in the culinary industry or in the beauty industry, you will definitely know the value of saffron. But, do you know exactly what is saffron and why it is so popular?
