Saffron Pure Spanish 4g (Azafran)

I was looking round for some decent Saffron as the stuff you get in the supermarkets is way overpriced (I really do think with Schwartz you are paying for the fancy glass bottle!) and I found this little gem of an offer on here! I did wonder for a while if i was seeing things...4gm of quality Spanish Saffron for under £7.00! Anyway after reading the reviews on here I decided to take the plunge and I am so pleased I did, This is really good quality for the money and is a great value as this quantity will last me a fair while, nice box too!If you are a bit dubious about the price/quality of this product then don't be, I assure you this is a top quality product and you really won't be disappointed.PS: Great service from the supplier too!

For those cooking amateurs (like me) I simply didn't realise how strong saffron is as a flavour and how it dominates the dish. As a rule of thumb you only need one strand per family-sized portion.Having said that it is very good for you and advisable to use on a regular basis for that very reason.The product itself is of extremely high quality and it arrived very quickly. The yellow plastic box comes sealed and wrapped with string, but to be honest the box self seals very tightly so the string is really only for decoration.It was cheaply priced too. Supermarkets sell branded saffron with only a few strands inside for several pounds. I "guesstimate" buying the same amount through those channels would cost upwards of £30 so c. £3 delivered is an absolute bargain!Overall extremely satisfied with the purchase and I highly recommend it

Good quality saffron

I love cooking Indian dishes and tend to use a large pinch of saffron when I make pilau rice. The usual glass pots of saffron that you can buy in supermarkets were only lasting for two meals and seemed very expensive and hugely wasteful in terms of packaging. Therefore, I decided to give this saffron a try as there is a LOT more saffron in this little plastic box than there is in the other glass pots that I had bought and this one purchase lasted for ages. The saffron itself seemed really good quality and gave a very nice flavour and colour to the food.I guess the best recommendation that I can give is that it's so good that I've just purchased another pot, as I've finally run out! :)

Good value.

Been buying from the same supplier for 3- 4 years but noticed the price has jumped up drastically.

Given that saffron costs more per gram than gold, it is a prime target for people engaging in food fraud. Having sniffed, cooked with and tasted this saffron, I am pretty convinced that it is indeed saffron. The quality seems reasonably good also, although I must admit that I prefer the Iranian/Persian saffron (that is now easier to obtain with some sanctions against Iran lifted), which is a darker red and has a stronger flavour. This Spanish saffron is very good value per money, costing less per gram at the time of writing than most other decent saffron.On delivery, the best before date for this saffron was almost three and half years away.

Looked at the shops for some Saffron but it did seem so expensive for such a small amount.Did a search on the web and came across this on offer, well seemed cheaper than the shops so bought it.It came in a little plastic case (box) and the smell was just wonderful when opened, really fresh and when cooking with it even more pungent. You really do notice a difference when cooking a meal if this had been left out of the recipe. We recently have been cooking more Indian dishes so the need for saffron has been needed.I did order a couple of spices from the same company and really pleased with them all as they are all fresh and just as they are stated to be. The quality seems class 1 and all long dated.Was a little dubious at first ordering spices as you never know what you might get with not seeing them first, but would buy again from this company.

Bien emballé et beau safran avec super parfum. Merci

Shipped direct from Spain so it took a while to be delivered. Definitely worth the wait! Made a Spanish style tomato based shrimp dish as soon as it arrived and a pinch added a lovely flavor. 4 grams is a lot of saffron and the price was amazing.

Two packages of very high quality saffron, was well priced. I only needed a few strands to make a tea, and it seemed to help my strained eyes.

Ok

good stuff, better than I thought
