"Saffron gives the cake its yellow color"—every child knows that. But poultry, fish, and risotto alla milanese also benefit from its coloring power and its tangy aroma. Often, just a small pinch is enough. Fortunately, because saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. No wonder—it takes about 150,000 crocus blossoms to make one kilogram of the spice. Pure luxury!

Application

Saffron gives many dishes their characteristic color, such as Spanish paella. However, it also imparts a unique flavor. It pairs well with fish soups, stews, and sauces served with lobster or mussels. To ensure the saffron imparts its color even better, it should be soaked in warm water or milk for 2 hours before use.
