Saffron, actually a type of crocus, is obtained from the pistil threads inside the flower. The crocus blooms only once a year for a few weeks, and due to the elaborate harvesting and processing, saffron is considered the "most expensive spice in the world." Up to 200,000 crocus flowers are needed for 1 kg of saffron threads. This precious spice tradition has a history of at least 3600 years and was already a luxury item in ancient times. Immerse yourself in the world of Herbaria's exquisite saffron and enrich your culinary creations with this timeless and precious spice.

Tip:
To preserve the full aroma of saffron, it is recommended to add it to the dish only towards the end of preparation to prevent it from evaporating due to heat. As soon as the powder is added, it not only gives the dish a characteristic color but also quickly develops its intense aroma.
The use of saffron extends to a variety of culinary delights. From light sauces to bouillons to Mediterranean rice dishes like Spanish paella, saffron finds its place. It is also valued in pilafs, lamb dishes, poultry, fish, and vegetable soups like the French bouillabaisse. Furthermore, saffron adds a special touch to dishes like Spanish zarzuela. Not to forget are the sweet temptations, where saffron contributes its unique flavor nuance to desserts such as pudding, cakes, and ice cream.
