3 Gram Saffron

$100.00

Premium saffron, grown in Central Washington

Hand-harvested in small batches from sun-drenched fields in Central Washington, our saffron offers exceptional aroma, color, and flavor.

What makes it premium

  • Local terroir: Mineral-rich soils and a temperate climate produce robust stigmas with consistent quality.

  • Careful harvesting: Threads are separated by hand from each crocus flower within hours of opening to preserve potency.

Culinary uses

  • Rice and grains: Add a few threads to warm liquid for risotto, paella, or pilaf to infuse color and nuanced flavor.

  • Sauces and soups: Bloom threads in a little warm water, stock, or cream before adding to ensure even distribution.

  • Baking and desserts: Incorporate into custards, panna cotta, and pastries for floral notes and golden hue.

  • Beverages: Steep threads in hot water or milk for saffron tea, lattes, or to flavor cocktails.

How to use and store

  • To bloom saffron: Crush lightly between fingers or a mortar and pestle, then steep in 1–2 tablespoons of warm (not boiling) water, milk, or stock for 10–20 minutes before adding to recipes.

  • Typical amounts: 6–10 threads for delicate dishes; 10–20 threads for pronounced color and flavor in recipes serving 4.

  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate if moisture can enter. Properly stored, quality saffron retains character for 12–24 months.

Experience saffron that combines Old World tradition with Pacific Northwest quality—vibrant, fragrant, and reliable for both everyday cooking and special occasions.
