Saffron

Saffron is the highest quality saffron available, therefore it has almost twice the strength of many other brands of saffron. It is harvested in the sunny gardens of La Mancha, the native land of Don Quixote. The flowers of a particular strain of crocus are picked individually and peeled by hand to reveal the delicate stamens that are then sorted by size and color before they are toasted. The result of this labor-intensive process is a most extraordinary and exotic condiment, ideal for preparing traditional Spanish dishes such as paella and saffron rice. This, the most precious of all spices, is used in many international recipes. It will add the final touch of authenticity to your paella or arroz a banda.
