Spanish Saffron Powder by OliveNation is 100 percent authentic Spanish Saffron powder. Featuring a distinctive flavor, aroma, and color, some culinary creations just wouldn't be the same without it. Use Saffron Powder in savory dishes like paella, risotto, and bouillabaisse. Or, make a saffron powder-infused dessert. OliveNation offers two options for Saffron Powder for your convenience. You can select a single 0.12 gram package or a bulk quantity of fifty 0.12 gram packs.

Spanish Saffron Powder by OliveNation is Category 1 and SOIVRE certified by Spanish authorities. This confirms that the saffron was harvested using the highest standards, without dyes or artificial ingredients.

What is saffron? Harvested from the crocus, saffron threads are the dried stigmas of the flower. Saffron is prized for its unique flavor, wonderful aroma, and distinct color. Many delicious dishes throughout the world feature saffron as the key ingredient.

What’s the difference between Saffron Powder and Threads? Spanish Saffron Powder by OliveNation is made from ground saffron threads. There’s an advantage to using Saffron Powder. While saffron threads require steeping to release their flavor, powder can be used immediately.

How do you use Saffron Powder: When cooking with Saffron Powder, season with only a pinch of the spice. Too much saffron can overpower a dish.

Why is saffron so expensive? Some compare saffron to gold and for good reason. The harvesting of saffron is very labor intensive. Each crocus flower produces only three stigmas. It takes thousands of them to produce one ounce of saffron. Just imagine that each one of those stigma threads has to be hand picked! Though Saffron Powder is one of the more expensive spices, a little goes a long way. Steer clear of discounted saffron as it could be an imposter or lesser quality saffron.

What are some recipes that use Saffron Powder?
Saffron is used in many different cuisines, especially in rice dishes. While the recipes below call for saffron threads, you can substitute with Saffron Powder. Remember for best results, use saffron sparingly.

•   Risotto alla Milanese
•    Phirni Rice Pudding
•    Persian Roasted Chicken with Dried Cherry-Saffron Rice
•    Saffron Scented Couscous with Pine Nuts

    Grandma's chicken & rice

    Posted by Carolyn Behrens on Oct 25th 2019

    My dad was speaking of my grandmother's chicken & rice and afterwords, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I made the dish with this saffron because my grandmother only used the best! This made the dish taste better than ever and my father and I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you!

    Size Matters

    I am so happy to find that Olive Nation sells Saffron in a small package. I only use this spice once or twice a year, so paying a huge amount for more, and having it go stale, is terribly frustrating. I'm so glad they have this option for me.
