Carmencita Ground Saffron

Or Azafràn Molido in Spanish. This ground saffron for cooking comes from the stigma of the flower Crocus sativus. It takes to harvest several thousands of these flowers and separating each stigma by hand to be able to produce this majesty of a spice, commonly known as "red gold" and the "king of spice".

Only a bit of pinch is needed to majestically enhance the flavor and aroma of sauces, rice, and meat. Worth the price in the long run! A real treasure, with all the aroma and flavor of Spanish cooking, in two formats: threads or ground, so that you can make this exclusive spice an indispensable ingredient in all your cooking. 

A small amount of this superior ground saffron will give your dishes a delicious flavor and color, and it is a key ingredient in the preparation of traditional dishes such as paella, risotto, bouillabaisse, and also in fish dishes, soups, sauces, puddings, pasta, and casseroles.


Directions for Use:

A sachet of saffron powder is enough for 4 portions.

Usually used in curry dishes, in Persian cuisines, and in Spanish cooking. The ultimate season for Italian Risotto, Mexican rice, Pilaf.
Compliments fish, poultry, and light meats.

Directly added at the start of the cooking process. Dissolves easily into the food.
When cooking with saffron, avoid wooden utensils.
