The Saffron in Stigmas from Safranum is a carefully selected premium spice, harvested in Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, and processed entirely by hand to maintain its purity.
Safranum saffron is harvested and sorted with a double control process in order to carefully select both the stigmas and the flowers; this is done to satisfy even the most demanding chefs during processing.
Dried for a long time and at low temperatures to avoid thermal shock, it can thus last up to 3 years thanks to its very low residual humidity.
The name saffron derives from the Latin safranum, which in turn comes from the Arabic za’faran, meaning golden yellow, light, revealed wisdom. Saffron, known primarily for its use in cooking, is also a medicinal plant with a thousand uses, rich in vitamins B1 and B2. Besides coloring and perfuming, it has soothing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, anti-cancer, antispasmodic, calming, strengthening, and aphrodisiac properties.
It acts as a digestive stimulant, muscle tonic, boosting the immune defenses, reducing kidney colic, and alleviating tension.
The saffron in threads in a 0.5-gram package can be used to provide intense colorations and very vivid flavors to many dishes. In particular, besides the legendary Milanese risotto, it can enhance a dish of raw scampi or Sicilian red prawns marinated with extra virgin olive oil in crudité. Excellent also on pasta or for sweets. The amount of saffron in this jar is sufficient, for example, for 6 servings of risotto.
Saffron has a characteristic flavor that romantically engages all the taste buds, has a very intense aroma, and a strong coloring power, which gives many dishes a vigorous and golden yellow color. The wines that pair well with saffron dishes should be definitely fresh, savory, white, or even sparkling.
Packaged in glass with a case to protect it from light that causes long-term oxidation.
