Our authentic Spanish saffron comes nicely packaged in 1 gram recyclable plastic sealed containers to preserve freshness, Coupé saffron is the highest quality saffron available. Coupé is the French word for “cut”, the red portion of the Saffron stigmas are cut away from yellow ones. The main characteristic of coupé grade saffron is that the stigmas are all totally red and it´s this part of the saffron thread that increases its colouring power and gives it its strong aroma.
It is derived from the dried stigmas of the saffron crocus flower and has a deep auburn colour and sweet flavour. The stigmas can only be picked by hand and its estimated that it takes 250,000 flowers to gather one kilo of saffron, hence why Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.
Sold per gram in individual sealed boxes, our wonderful luxurious saffron will enhance your dishes and take them to new heights.
To release its colour and to ensure that it’s evenly distributed throughout the dish, immerse saffron threads in a little warm water, milk, white wine, olive oil or stock for about 15 minutes before using. Then add the liquid to the dish, during or towards the end of cooking.
Used in dishes such as Spanish paellas, Indian biriyanis, Italian risottos and French bouillabaisse. Saffron is also fantastic infused into a savoury cream sauce, or sweet with saffron infused ice cream or panna cotta.
Saffron threads keep their flavour for longer and are better than alternatives such as saffron powder. Saffron is also superior to other spices for adding colour and flavour to foods.
The following short video describes the health benefits saffron may have and why saffron works well as a powerful natural antidepressant along with some surprising results from clinical trials alongside prescription drugs.
Other benefits include eye health, improving brain functions, reducing anxiety and also helps with weight loss goals.
Saffron is also a known aphrodisiac and is often recommended to help counter the impotence sometimes caused by prescription drugs.
Our spanish saffron comes from traceable producers and is grown in Spain, not just packaged in Spain like other brands. Each box is clearly labelled with its grade, crop date, pack date and best before date.

B. McDonald –
There’s saffron..and then there’s this saffron.
As someone who is very familiar with saffron, it can often be a challenge to find the good stuff. In the world of saffrons, this one is truly in a class of its own. It has the most striking shade of red and with its deep and complex flavours that you can actually taste, unlike the majority of store brand saffron, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better product at this price.

Raj Singh –
High quality product.
I love cooking Indian dishes and tend to use a pinch of saffron when I make pilau rice. I decided to give this saffron a try as there is a lot more saffron in this little plastic box than there is in the other pots that I had bought at supermarkets and this one purchase lasted a lot longer. The saffron itself is really good quality and gave a very nice flavour and colour to the food.
I guess the best recommendation that I can give is that it’s so good that I’ve just purchased another box!
Amanda Leigh –
Lovely saffron
This is really very good quality and will last me a fair while as a pinch is more than enough for any dish.
B. Miller –
