Product Description

Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the “saffron crocus”. The vivid crimson stigma and styles, called threads, are collected and dried for use mainly as a seasoning and coloring agent in food. Saffron smells strong, leathery, soft, earthy, hay-like, reminding slightly of rubber. The scent comes from the chemical compounds of picrocrocin and safranal. With just a pinch tossed in and with no additional prep, dishes like risotto alla Milanese and bouillabaisse have enough liquid and simmering time to draw out saffron’s subtle flavors. The key is to add the saffron early on, allowing it enough time to bloom in the cooking liquid. Store saffron in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to six months for maximum flavor. Saffron, like other herbs and spices, is sensitive to light, so wrap the packet in foil to protect it further. Saffron will not spoil, but it will lose increasingly more and more of its flavor with age.

Saffron works beautifully in dishes that feature rice, pasta, eggs, seafood and chicken. Pale broths, custard, milk and cream are excellent carriers for the flavor of saffron. Get started and enjoy the great flavor and color this unique spice brings to your cooking endeavors!
