Saffron - 1g (Villa Jerda)

Saffron (also known as zaffron) is perhaps the most expensive spice in the world, is made from the red stigmas of a special type of crocus flower. A tiny pinch will suffice to add complexity and a deep golden color to an entire pot of food.

We sell this high-quality organic saffron from Morocco's high Atlas Mountains. The spice has a rich, complex flavor akin to cherries, sweet hay, and hibiscus. A good saffron is nothing like the red dust sold as saffron in so many supermarkets. Treat yourself to the real deal, and add a pinch the next time you make rice, paella, couscous, bouillabaisse, beef stew, or chai.

Why we sell this saffron: because saffron is so expensive, we try to source the most fragrant and flavorful variety available without making it unnecessarily expensive. Try it and see what you think!
