Saffron is the most valuable spice in the world.  Saffron comes from the red stigmas of the beautiful purple crocus sativus. 
 
Our saffron is grown organically and hand-planted, harvested, and packaged on our farm in NH.  
 
Saffron has a very subtle flavor and aroma.  Saffron reflects an earthy and grassy flavor, yet it has sweet floral and honey notes.  The red stigmas add a yellow-golden hue to any dish.  Most recipes call for a pinch of saffron as to not overpower the dish.  A little goes a long way with this potent spice!
 
Saffron is sensitive to light.  Store in a cool, dark place as you would most spices and oils to maintain potency.   Saffron can last up to 5 years when stored correctly.
 
Steep a pinch of crushed stigmas in hot water for several minutes.  The stigmas will release a yellow hue.  Add the water and stigmas to any recipe.
