Saffron Threads

(Crocus Sativus)

A musky, earthy flavour with a distinctive aroma.

One of the most precious spices in the world, Saffron Threads, is the stigma of the Crocus plant's flower. Grown since the early Bronze Age, Ancient Persians used to weave Saffron Threads into ancient royal carpets.

Unleash the Flavour: Grind gently with a mortar and pestle before submerging Saffron in warm or hot water for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavours to flourish.
