Saffron in pistils 1g

We present to you the essence of a special spice, beautiful as a sapphire and precious as a diamond: saffron. We are talking about the most exclusive spice in the world: to obtain a kilogram of stigmas, more than 150,000 flowers of Crocus Sativus are needed, along with 600 hours of work.

In Italy, the production of saffron stigmas reaches excellence, but only a few dozen kilograms are produced each year.

The Saffron in Whole Stigmas from the Azienda Agricola Cleopatra is a spice of the highest quality, entirely hand-processed according to ancient organic methods to preserve its purity. It is cultivated in San Gavino Monreale, Sardinia, the leading Italian producer since 1300.

In this area of Sardinia, the excellent microclimatic conditions, the perfect mineral composition of the soil, and the high underground humidity give rise to a product of the highest quality. Highly sought after by chefs around the world!

CURIOSITIES

The Saffron became famous in Italy, especially in Milan, because a very skilled glassmaker's apprentice, while working on the stained glass of Sant'Elena in the Duomo, added the spice as an "ingredient" to make the glass more golden.

Saffron in pistils 1g: use in the kitchen

The saffron in threads in a 1-gram package can be used to offer intense colors and very vivid flavors to many dishes. In particular, in addition to the legendary Milanese risotto, it can enhance a dish of raw scampi or marinated Sicilian red prawns with extra virgin olive oil in crudité. Excellent also on pasta or for sweet preparations.

Tasting

Saffron has a characteristic flavor that romantically engages all taste buds, has a very intense aroma and a strong coloring power, which gives many dishes a vibrant and golden yellow color. The wines that pair with saffron dishes should be decidedly fresh, savory, white, or even sparkling.
