Saffron, the world’s most expensive spice. Tens of thousand of strands are needed for one ounce of saffron. Fortunately, a very little goes a long way. La Mancha Saffron is a symbol of Spanish quality with gorgeous golden-yellow colour with distinct, slightly bitter, flavour and aroma. Flavourful in dishes like Spanish Paella, French Bouillabaisse and Italian Risotto Milanese. Used in Indian Biryani and in Persian rice dishes. Saffron can be added to mayonnaise for grilled shellfish such as shrimp or squid. This saffron is Category 1 grade based on ISO3632 standards.
