Saffron in its maximum expressiveness...

Tips for Use

Saffron needs time to develop its aroma.

It is important to infuse the spice in hot water (minimum 5 cl) or any liquid preparation related to the recipe: broth, wine, vinegar, milk, etc. The maximum expressiveness of saffron is acquired by infusing it for at least 4 hours. Add this saffron preparation (with filaments) 10 minutes before the end of cooking.

We also recommend grinding it in a mortar to prepare meats or other recipes that do not require a special sauce. To grind the saffron it can be dried slightly, putting the threads of the spice on a sheet of paper, for a few minutes at the entry of an open oven.

Recommended Dose

When handling saffron, wood utensils should be avoided. The wood easily absorbs the organoleptic components of the spice.

  • Sauces: 6 - 8 threads or stigmas per 250 g of cream or the equivalent of ¼ litre of sauce.
  • Rice and pasta: 6 - 8 threads per litre of broth or water.
  • Sweets and desserts: 10 - 12 threads per litre of milk.
  • 0,01g = 6 threads of saffron

Expert Opinion

“More than talk about the quality of the product, I want to thank the effort of these young entrepenerus in the difficult task of creating a product that we have become used to underappreciate. Thanks to them I've rediscovered high quality saffron! Keep working like this!”.
