I could not be happier with this product and brand! My mom made us "Ina Garten's Chicken in a Pot with Orzo" tonight and it called for saffron. I knew it was extremely expensive, but when I got to the store I was blown away. $24 for 0.01 ounces. I couldn't justify buying it, even though I knew it would be a major component to the dish..
I thought I might have better luck on Amazon and I did when I found this brand! I had this overnighted to my mom's for less than $10 total and the quality was superb. Extremely potent, pungent, and you get a great amount for the price - if anyone has ever bought saffron, you know it comes in a large jar with the saffron sealed for freshness, so I have no issues with the size of the jar, as some others did. Also, there was absolutely zero plastic smell as others mentioned - just pure lovely saffron smell.
The saffron came through so prominently in the dish, and without it, it wouldn't have been the same at all. A little bit went a long way with this and it came out fantastic. So, so glad I found this on Amazon and I can now make so many saffron dishes that I never wanted to over the years due to the cost! I will be back for more!!
Saffron.
