Saffron

Saffron – the most precious spice in the world

Saffron is considered the most precious spice in the world. It is characterized by its aroma, reminiscent of a combination of roses and honey. Its flavor, however, has a slightly bitter note. Just a small amount is enough to give food the desired flavor. Saffron is best known as a spice in Spanish paella, where it gives the rice its characteristic yellow color. But other dishes, especially meat and fish dishes, are also enhanced with saffron threads, creating an exotic and exotic culinary experience.

Saffron is used not only in savory dishes but also in sweet ones. As in the well-known children's song „Bake, bake, cake,“ the spice gives cakes a mouthwatering yellow color. Crushed with sugar, saffron also enhances desserts like panna cotta or other creams. It is therefore incredibly versatile and improves many dishes.

Saffron production

Saffron is considered the most expensive spice in the world. Its high price is due to the labor-intensive harvesting process. The threads are found in the flower of the saffron crocus and are harvested by hand. Machines cannot assist with this task, so workers in the Iranian fields must invest a great deal of time in obtaining the spice. This makes saffron an exclusive and unique spice.

durability

For all uses, only a very small amount is needed for seasoning, so a little goes a long way in many dishes. Furthermore, the aroma is retained in the threads for a long time, making them significantly more shelf-stable than ground saffron. Like other spices, saffron keeps best in a glass jar, i.e., in a dry place.
