You can buy pure saffron from us in the form of threads. Our produce is packed in an airtight, opaque packaging, ideal for optimal storage of saffron.
Pure saffron can be recognized by its cardinal red color and its unique, complex scent but still a refined aroma. The pure taste of a thread on your tongue is spicy, a little sweet, but also tingling and slightly bitter.
It is a harmonious blend of:
- Earthy: The scent has a warm, earthy undertone reminiscent of freshly cut grass or hay.
- Floral and honey-like: There is a subtle yet recognizable floral fragrance present, similar to the delicate scent of honey flowers, adding a slight sweetness to the aroma.
- Metallic and medicinal: Saffron also has a slight metallic and medicinal scent.
The benefits of our Saffron:
- 100% Pure and Natural: Our saffron threads are natural and untreated.
- Intense Color and Aroma: saffron adds a golden yellow color and an enchanting aroma to your dishes.
- Culinary Masterpiece: is perfect for paella, risotto, bouillabaisse, desserts and even tea. A little bit of saffron takes any dish to a next level.
- Healthy and Nutritious: Saffron is known for its exceptional health benefits like antioxidants, improving mood and aiding digestion.
How to use saffron?
Ideally, infuse the saffron in a liquid that will be part of your dish (such as milk, cream, broth, …). This can even be done the day before.
You can speed up this process by lightly crushing the saffron threads with a spoon, helping them swell faster and start releasing their color and flavor.
How can you tell fake saffron from real saffron?
Saffron is expensive as it is entirely hand-harvested. If the price is low, it's reasonable to have doubts. You can easily test this.
- Saffron threads are never soft, but crispy. They can hook together, but do not stick.
- Saffron threads in a glass of cold water will never discolour immediately. It usually takes 10 to 15 minutes before you see a yellow cloud appear.
- If the water stains red, this is a telltale sign the threads are dyed.
