1g TFS Saffron

This saffron arrives in a small plastic case that is sealed and bound in gold twine. It's like opening a special present as you break the seal, then remove the twine and lastly break the sticker seal. Then the fiddly, frustrating part of trying to ease off the lid without the prescious strands flying into the air and landing unceremoniously on the floor as your cries of NOOOO reverberate around the room. Now, having experience of removing said lid, I recommend you wiggle & jiggle it just a little bit and ease it off carefully. When the lid is removed, the heady scent of fresh fruity tobacco hits your senses and creates a contented sigh from somewhere deep inside, I have no idea why. but, this really is a quality saffron, deep red throngs and full heady scent. It gives my food a depth of flavour that is lacking when I don't use this even though it has no distinct flavour when used sparingly but you definitely know its there. It's also great to colour rice etc, leave a pinch of saffron to steep in hot water and the vibrant sunshine yellow seeps from the red throngs and creates a great natural colour. Beware of clothing and porous worktops as this stuff will stain! As someone who makes various sauces etc I would very much recommend this brand of quality saffron.

I could smell that wonderful aroma before I even opened the packaging. Just one look and you know that this the real deal. A quick rub between the fingers confirms that it is. Great quality and a fabulous flavour. Relatively cheap, too.

Smaller than I expected. And was difficult to open the box without spilling the saffron. The saffron itself is very good. Top quality

Great quality

I was glad it was well sealed and you can tell the manufacturer is passionate about good quality saffron in the way it’s packaged and the information about the product. I have used it a few times and each time it has been a bit of a struggle to open as it’s hard to know whether you’re pulling the lid off, a little dent to allow the finger to fit under to pull the lid off is all that’s needed or a bigger ridge at the bottom so you know what’s the bottom and what’s the lid will help as it feels almost like one rectangular plastic box that cannot be opened as there is no ridge. It’s not a real problem as I always manage and the saffron is good. I am getting the knack of it now. Strong smelling and strong flavour I have noticed it easily in my food I’ve made, 2 beautiful tasting meals so far a lot of thanks to this saffron. I was pleased with the amount of 1g looks like and the price is good.

Perfect for my paella 🥘
