Our organic saffron threads

Known as “red gold”, saffron is one of the world's most prized spices. Its deep red threads are the dried stigmas of Crocus sativus, offering an unmistakable aroma, delicate bitterness and beautiful golden colour when infused. Our organic saffron comes from Iran, including the Sabzevar and Ghaen areas, and the source catalogue also refers to the Biopartenaire® label.

Available in a glass vial containing 1 g or in larger quantities, it adds a memorable finishing touch to both sweet and savoury recipes.

How to cook with saffron

Infuse a few threads in a small amount of warm water, milk or stock before adding the liquid to rice, paella, risotto, sauces, soups or desserts. This helps distribute the colour and aroma evenly. You can also make a fragrant saffron tea and add cardamom or lemon according to taste.

Harvest, value and storage

Each saffron flower produces only three stigmas, which must be picked and separated with great care. This painstaking manual work helps explain the spice's price. Store the threads airtight, in a cool, dry, dark place. Use saffron in ordinary culinary quantities; large doses are not appropriate, especially during pregnancy.
