Saffron isn’t just expensive for the sake of it — each delicate thread is hand-picked from the crocus flower, and it takes thousands of blooms to produce a single kilogram. That’s dedication you can taste.

A pinch of saffron can transform a dish, from a creamy risotto to a fragrant dessert. Its deep golden hue and unique floral aroma are unmatched by any other spice.

When using saffron, remember: less is more. Gently steep the threads in warm water or milk before adding them to your recipe, and you’ll unlock their full magic.
