Saffron
Revered since time immemorial, saffron blends sensual and enticing color, aroma and flavor to all gastronomic dishes.
It is one of the most traditional and natural spices in history. Saffron can be used in either filament form or powdered in dishes
such as paellas, stews, soups, pastas, sauces & yes, even desserts! – the list is endless.
Our Saffron comes from Safrante Global, a Spanish based company, located in the province of Málaga, where they harvest saffron threads in the traditional method, which is all done by hand.
Be wary of products that are too cheap, since 100% pure saffron is not a cheap spice.
Also be wary of products whose shelf life is very long, in proper storage conditions the lifetime is around 3 years.
Otherwise known as “red gold”, saffron is the world’s most expensive spice. But, as an object of desire it can also be a victim of fraud. Low quality saffron is often traded on international markets, and the specifications for pure saffron are not always respected.

– Our saffron is ruled under the International Standard ISO 3632-1:2011.

– We have been one of the first and few saffron specialist companies in Spain to obtain one of the most rigorous food safety certifications in the World: the IFS.
– All our batches are analyzed in external laboratories accredited by ENAC (Entidad Nacional de Acreditación), which insures international standards.
