Description
Saffron is one of the world’s most precious spices, loved for its intense aroma, beautiful golden colour and refined taste. These premium Negin saffron threads come from Iran, one of the most important saffron-growing regions in the world.
Made from the delicate stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower, saffron is harvested by hand and carefully dried to preserve its fragrance, colour and flavour. Just a small amount is enough to transform a dish with a warm golden tone and a complex aroma that can feel floral, earthy, slightly sweet and gently bitter.
This saffron is perfect for anyone who enjoys cooking with high-quality spices and wants to add a luxurious touch to both savoury and sweet dishes.
How to Use Saffron
For the best result, do not add saffron directly to a dry dish. Let the threads release their colour and aroma first.
Add a few saffron threads to a small amount of warm water, stock, milk or cream and leave them to infuse for 10–20 minutes. Then add the liquid and softened threads to your recipe.
Saffron works beautifully in:
- Milanese risotto
- Paella
- Bouillabaisse
- Rice dishes
- Seafood and shellfish
- Fine fish dishes
- Chicken and poultry
- Creamy sauces
- Soups
- Butter-sautéed onions
- Courgette, cucumber and delicate vegetables
- Desserts, creams, mousses and ice cream
- Fruit desserts with orange, apricot or white peach
- Jams, compotes, macarons and pastries
