## Description

desertcart.com : Alma Gourmet Altaj Premium Spanish Saffron Threads Spice 1 Ounce Tin : Saffron Spices And Herbs : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Excellent for the price - First this is Spanish La Mancha Saffron, grown in Spain, by far the majority of the saffron we see here in the US. Although the Blue Crocus flower is native to Iran and not Spain the best saffron is considered to be this from La Mancha. Now as for the grading system the main difference between grades is how many long yellow "styles" are attached to the stigmas which is saffron. Pure stigma saffron (basically no yellow styles) is the best quality. This is deep bright red Spanish saffron indicating very high crocin. The best indication of grade is the "Superior Quality" label which is the translation of the Spanish "Coupe". There are just a few styles. Bottom line you might find a more purebred saffron for a higher price. But this is a very high quality product at an unbeatable price from the best growing region in the world. The flowers here would seem to grow under the natural conditions the best, perhaps avoiding any kind of chemical alteration.
Review: No substitute for high quality - I purchased this tin of saffron for my wife's birthday. Yes, a birthday present. She happens to be a professional chef who always knew the value of high quality ingredients. Using top-quality -- and yes, this is the best you can buy -- saffron enhances so many spanish foods, risotto and a whole lot of other dishes. You always dissolve saffron in a liquid so that the intense aroma infuses the entire dish and mixes in subtle ways with other flavors. And since you need so little, this tin will last for years. There is simply no substitute. If this is your first purchase of top quality saffron, you will be impressed and wonder how you could ever cook without.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the expiry date?**
A: I don’t know about expiration date of the saffron.
I keep it in the refrigerator and use 1 ounce in a year or less👍🏻

**Q: How were the dishes made with this saffron? Was a lot or a little needed to get the full flavor that good saffron offers?**
A: In our Family  using saffron from my childhood . Everyday and every Cooking food we are using this Saffron ( Not MANCHA   SAFFRON) )  as a spices . We are Bangladeshi , Dishes Made in by Our Expert cook  and how many needs he knows it , We no need any lessons to learn about saffron as we are using this saffron more than 150 years ago. Thanking you

**Q: whats the expiry date on this box?**
A: The box has a sticker on it, stating the year of packing, and "Best Before" date. When I bought it, year of packing was 2011 and best before 2019. Of course, when you buy it now it will have a different year. Keep the plastic bag tightly closed and the bag in the tin and it should last a long time. The optimal shelf life is 8 years.

**Q: I am wondering if anyone has used and compared this saffron to the Gathering of Saffron brand saffron, if it is the same in quality, if not taste?**
A: Linda, I haven't used Gathering of Saffron, but I can vouch for the intensity and flavor of La Mancha. I first received this as a gift, then bought it for myself when I ran out (years later). I see that now the price has doubled since I received my first tin, so I suggest you jump on it and buy the big one! Cheers, MLR
