Description
 
Spanish Saffron is some of the most fragrant available. It's strongly perfumed with a sweet aroma of honey and aromatic flavor that imparts the perfect amount of bitterness.
Traditionally used in rice couscous, stews and coffee. At harvest time, the beautiful orange-yellow filaments of the crocus flower are carefully extracted by hand, resulting in saffron with a lingering perfume and a slightly bitter flavor.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
This excellent Saffron is especially delicious with roasted lamb, steamed mussels or in homemade foie gras. It's also extraordinary when mixed with citrus juice (lemon and orange) and drizzled over a salad of pears and apples on Frisee lettuce.
