Golden Saffron, Premium Spanish Saffron Threads, Pure Red Spanish Saffron Spice Threads, For Culinary Use Such as Tea, Paella Rice, Risotto, Tachin, Basmati Rice (10 Grams)

Stunning red color that gives food not only fantastic flavor, but a vibrant yellow color. Amazing how much saffron it takes to equal two grams. I can make several paellas with just this one tin! Good, fresh smell and flavor and not overly expensive. I highly recommend.

Many of those who I’ve seen have bad reviews seem to do so of ignorance of the two distinct types. This is not the type meant for middle-eastern dishes and such. Instead it is a truly fragrant and flavorful strain meant for dishes such as traditional saffron buns and the like made in Sweden, Norway, and England.In the photos, the saffron had been soaking for a few hours. I was following the excessive soaking my grandmother’s saffron buns recipe calls for and soaked overnight. Getting busy the next day, it sat soaking until late afternoon and the saffron itself STILL had flavor and color to it.Although I did not get the recipe right, the saffron shone well. The scent is magnificent and coloring of the buns perfect. The flavoring delicate, but obvious and distinct.With the quality of this saffron, I was highly surprised at the amount provided. It was easily 3-5 times the amount I’ve seen for the same price point at local stores. I will definitely continue to purchase this product.As for suggesting it for others, however, it really depends on what type of dish you are making. You may need the other type of saffron, but this is perfect for the dishes that call for this type.

Super good quality, great flavor and the price was right.

Does not dissolve or give color easily. Takes 2 to 3 hours.

Great product

A+

Good quality saffron for the price. Will make you Lord of Paella for not too much money.

This isn't "5 Star" Chef's grade but it worked extremely well in a BBQ Rub Recipe, and for a shrimp dish that we made. I would buy this again, but the price is high for the amount that you get.
