What the Great Taste judges had to say about our saffron …

This deep, dark orangey red saffron smells stunning in the jar. Each individual stamen is sitting there proudly – not a tangled mess. On adding hot water, it immediately bleeds into the water giving a glorious sunshine yellow, fragrant liquid.

It is everything you would want from saffron: intense and vibrant. Each soaked stamen tastes plump and fresh in the mouth. Incredible.

When steeped in hot water, the saffron releases a pale gold colour to the liquid. It is a rich, pinky red in its dry state. The flavour of the infusion is the distinctive metallic tang of this spice, whereas in its dry state, it smells almost fruity. It delivers intense, clear, saffron flavour to the infusion.

This has an excellent vibrant colour and a wonderful rich clean classic aroma of quality saffron.

This is pure, simple and outstanding – this is how the best quality saffron should taste. First class
