Saffron, the world’s most precious spice, is renowned for its exquisite golden-yellow hue and distinctive, slightly bitter flavour and aroma. Harvested by hand, each flower provides only three delicate stigmas, making it incredibly rare. Just a small amount can transform dishes such as Spanish Paella, French Bouillabaisse, and Italian Risotto Milanese. Saffron is also essential in Indian Biryani and Persian rice dishes, and can even be used to enhance mayonnaise for grilled shellfish like shrimp or squid.
