Saffron
The most precious and expensive spice in the world, saffron threads are the dried stigmas of the saffron flower. Each flower produces just 3 stigmas. These threads must be picked by hand, and approximately 170,000 of these flowers are needed to produce 1kg of Saffron, thus making it so costly. We currently stock the Spanish variety of saffron known as "Coupe" - which is a rich dark-red colour, and full of aroma and flavour. |  |
