Select saffron 8gr is a highly valued spice in all kitchens around the world for its flavor, aroma and color. It is obtained from the dried red stigmas of a flower commonly called saffron or crocus.
This spice is expensive due to the amount of labor used both in its production and in its collection.
At Degusta Teruel our saffron comes from Monreal del Campo, a town in Teruel.
The 8gr select saffron is characterized by:
- The color: this spice has a dark, intense red color that emerges from the dry stigmas of the flower. As it is immersed in liquid, such as hot water or broth, it releases a bright golden color that stains food.
- The aroma: Saffron exudes a distinctive and captivating aroma that is described as floral, earthy, and slightly sweet. Its fragrance is intense and can fill the kitchen with its aroma during cooking.
- The taste : Saffron has a unique and complex flavor. It is slightly bitter, with subtle notes of honey and an earthy undertone. Its flavor is powerful, so only a small amount is required to add its distinctive flavor to dishes.
- Chemical components: Saffron contains several chemical compounds that give it its properties and benefits. These include crocin, which provides the characteristic color, and safranal, which contributes aroma.
- The quality: The quality of saffron can vary depending on factors such as the variety of the flower, the place of cultivation and the drying process. High-quality saffron is characterized by thick threads, intense color, powerful aroma and a long-lasting flavor.
- The limited use: Due to its high cost and intense flavor and aroma, saffron is used sparingly in cooking. Only a small amount is required to flavor and color dishes, making it a valuable and prized spice.
