Our Spanish Saffron is certified by ISO3632 (International Standards Organization) as Category 1. This is the highest Rating for Saffron.
Our authentic Spanish saffron comes nicely packaged in a 4, 1 gram recyclable plastic sealed container to preserve freshness, Coupe saffron is the highest quality saffron available. The main characteristics of coupe 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 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 stigmas to make just half a kilo of saffron, hence why Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.
Sold per gram in individual sealed boxes, our wonderful 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.

My 2nd order and as usual great saffron and free shipping to boot !
Pure and unadulterated red strands.
love this saffron great colour aroma and taste
Totally worth the price and the flavour it adds to my dishes is divine.
I've purchased saffron before from different places and many times they have a lot of the yellow portions of the stigma but you pay premium price. This saffron is all red threads and the price is very modest.
I love the quality of this saffron. None of the stems lose color after steeping.
I have ordered this wonderful saffron on numerous occasions as its a must have ingredient for me. Always arrives within 2-3 days. Saffron is of excellent quality far superior than the dried out threads that you find in supermarkets that is sold in tiny jars.
If you love Paella this a must have! Will be back for more.
Very happy with products I purchased, I like the fact that this store actually shows the products and certifications, other sites just use generic pictures and misleading descriptions.
