SAFFRON DE FRANCE

Premium French Saffron

This rare saffron is grown at great difficulty amongst Tourraine vines, in the village of Montlouis-sur-Loire, France. Whilst Saffron is typically associated with North Africa, this product is cultivated by hand in France, where it benefits from the temperate climate and soils ideal for growing the flowers, giving it a unique intensity and aroma. 

The growers in this small village use traditional methods by hand to yield a small amount of exceptional Saffron; a good year would yield 500g. All of this is hand-picked to guarantee superior quality, a far cry from the industrial saffrons that are usually mixed or altered for mass production. 

Each thread is a bridge to an ancient tradition of spice cultivation that enhances any dish with its incomparable quality and aroma. Directly sourced from France, our saffron is grown in ideal conditions, ensuring each thread possesses the highest grade of color, aroma, and flavor profile.

Classified as Grade 1 Saffron under ISO 3632 standards, our product showcases deep red stigmas with minimal yellow or white parts, guaranteeing unmatched potency and purity.

With a balance of sweet, floral, and earthy notes, this saffron adds a luxurious depth of flavour and a beautiful golden hue to any dish, from traditional tagines and paellas to desserts and teas.

Perfect for culinary enthusiasts, professional chefs, and anyone looking to elevate their cooking, our saffron is adaptable to a myriad of dishes and cuisines, promising an exceptional gastronomic experience.

For optimal release of flavour and colour, lightly toast the saffron threads before gently crushing them. Soak in warm water, broth, or milk for at least 10 minutes before adding to your recipes.
