Premium Saffron jar

$7.00

Premium Saffron jar. Renowned for its rich colour, delicate aroma, and distinctive flavour, saffron has been one of the world’s most valuable spices for centuries. First prized by ancient Persians for its fragrance, medicinal benefits, and culinary uses, this golden-hued spice remains a symbol of luxury and quality in kitchens worldwide. Harvesting saffron is an intricate process. Each delicate Crocus sativus flower produces only three crimson stigmas, which must be carefully handpicked and dried to create the fine, vibrant red threads known as saffron. It takes between 150 to 200 dried stigmas to produce just one gram, making it one of the most labour-intensive spices to cultivate. Saffron’s complex flavour profile is slightly bitter with subtle honey-like sweetness, while its aroma is earthy, woody, and reminiscent of hay. A small pinch infuses dishes with a deep golden hue and an unmistakable depth of flavour. Used in traditional cuisines worldwide—from Spanish paella and Italian risotto to Persian stews and Indian biryanis—saffron elevates every dish with its luxurious essence. Beyond cooking, saffron has been treasured for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant properties and mood-enhancing effects. Whether you’re a gourmet chef or a home cook, this Premium Saffron jar will add an elegant touch to any dish.

Being a powerful spice, only a very small amount (often only a pinch) is required. Saffron is often used to colour rice dishes such as saffron rice often found in Indian restaurants, biryani, risotto, bouillabaisse and it is the essential ingredient in Spanish paella.
