Saffron is a unique spice derived from the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus). To produce saffron, the delicate stigmas of the flowers are carefully harvested and dried.
Saffron has a refined, delicate and slightly exotic aroma. The spice is prized for its combination of aroma, flavour and the characteristic yellow colour it can impart to dishes.
As there is only a small amount in the sachet, saffron is ideal for dishes that require just a small quantity. Saffron is used in dishes such as risotto, paella, rice dishes, fish dishes, sauces, desserts and bread dough.
