Spanish Saffron

Saffron, one of the worlds most expensive spices, is hand-harvested from stigmas of the flowers of the crocus plant. Each flower only contains three saffron threads. Chefs use saffron to imbue dishes with aroma, color, and flavor complexity. Some people think saffron tastes and smells like honey while others sense floral notes. The industry taste experts liken high-quality saffron to an earthy-grassy almost bittersweet flavor with aroma like hay. Whatever we individually sense, the flavor is unmistakeable and quite lovely! Contains 0.1 grams (~12-18 threads) 100% pure Spanish "La Mancha" grade premium saffron, which is enough for 1-2 dishes depending on what you're making.
