Saffron threads from Sardinia

This organic saffron in whole threads (pistils) is carefully cultivated, harvested and cleaned by hand in Sardinia – one of the oldest and most renowned saffron-growing regions in the world. Saffron (Crocus sativus), the "red gold" of the culinary world, is the most valuable spice in the world: 140,000 to 200,000 flowers are required to produce 1 kg of saffron threads. Its distinctive aroma, intense colour and unique flavour are determined by its three main active compounds – crocin & crocetin (carotenoids, responsible for the golden colour) and safranal (a monoterpene aldehyde, responsible for the characteristic aroma). This saffron is certified organic (Bioagricert), pure and unadulterated – with no added safflower, turmeric powder or synthetic colourings, which are commonly used on the market to stretch inferior products. As a discerning consumer, you can rely on full traceability throughout the entire supply chain, quality and purity. Produced and harvested by: Sa Tanca de Is Janas – Società Agricola Semplice, Via Sant'Ignazio 9, Oristano, Sardinia. Bioagricert certification, code: BIO007T12.

Use sparingly – a few threads are enough for an entire dish.
