Saffron

Saffron by Princesa de Minaya, D.O. La Mancha
The Best in the World - Hand-Painted Jar

 
$39.95  2 grams   / SN-03

Quantity:

 

'Princesa de Minaya’ is “An artisanal saffron of immense quality” quotes 'Lo Mejor de la Gastronomia' - the definitive gourmet food guide in Spain.

Unquestionably the best of the best, La Tienda can bring it to your kitchen because the family that produces the saffron is satisfied with the life they have: producing the best, and in low volume. Our order meets their personal needs, they dream of no more.

They collect, prune and toast it themselves daily during the harvest, which has a decisive effect on its aromatic, flavor profile and coloring strength—and all three are very intense. Their production for the year is no more than 50lbs. depending on the harvest. Your purchase supports a vanishing artisan industry.  (more info)

'Princesa de Minaya’ is “An artisanal saffron of immense quality” quotes 'Lo Mejor de la Gastronomia' - the definitive gourmet food guide in Spain.

Unquestionably the best of the best, La Tienda can bring it to your kitchen because the family that produces the saffron is satisfied with the life they have: producing the best, and in low volume. Our order meets their personal needs, they dream of no more.

They collect, prune and toast it themselves daily during the harvest, which has a decisive effect on its aromatic, flavor profile and coloring strength—and all three are very intense. Their production for the year is no more than 50lbs. depending on the harvest. Your purchase supports a vanishing artisan industry.

For several generations the family of Maria Ángeles and Juan Antonio Serrano has cultivated the highest quality saffron in Spain – if not the world -- on their ten acre plot. It takes about 400 crocus flowers to obtain the two grams of saffron you find packed in this bottle.

María Angeles selects beautiful hand-painted ceramic jars from a neighboring potter. The pieces have become collectibles in Spain. You can refill and store your saffron for years to come. Each jar is 6 inches tall by 3 inches wide.

Since saffron is such a precious condiment, the market is being flooded with many inferior grades and outright counterfeits. The Serrano family affixes the ‘Denomination of Origin La Mancha’ seal on each jar, so that you will be guaranteed that Princesa de Minaya is actually grown in La Mancha, the site of the finest saffron (azafrán) in the world.
