Kiva Premium Spanish Saffron (3 Gram) - Superior Grade A+ Quality | Full Saffron Threads for Paella, Saffron Risotto, Rice, Tea, desserts | Non-GMO | No Additives | 3 gram glass jar

This is a sensational product. From the moment you open the package, the powerful scent of saffron wafts upwards. I took a good pinch of it, let it bloom in hot water, then added it near the end of the cooking time in rice. It transformed and elevated a humble dish into something out of this world. I went to Madrid and Barcelona a few years ago and I have to say, if you want to travel without leaving the comfort of your home, then this is delicious way to do that. I will experiment and try the saffron in sauces and pasta dishes.

I purchased this saffron due to the positive reviews and the price. I am not a saffron connoisseur so I don't know if I have much knowledge on bad saffron vs. good. I can only compare this product an older saffron I had left from a grocery store purchase (a few threads). Big, BIG difference! (now I'm really not sure what the grocery store stuff is I bought, doesn't smell the same at all). Kiva saffron smells fresh and a little goes a long way providing great flavor so I believe it is a high-quality product. I made 2 recipes of mussels in a saffron white wine sauce on 2 separate occasions. The only difference each time was the saffron I used (all other ingredients were the same). The second batch (with Kiva saffron) was so much more flavorful, but I think I added more than I should have as it did have a stronger flavor than the first batch with the grocery store saffron. 3 grams is alot so this jar should last me a while. Will definitely purchase again.

I order this 1-2 times per year, goes a long way for your money.

I have never tasted saffron tea, so I can't compare it with any other saffron. I like the taste, the color, and the fragrance. I ordered 2 more bottles of this. I still have not tasted any other /saffron tea, and I stlll like the color, taste and fragrance. This little 3 Gram bottle lasts me over a month 1 cup/day. I like it stronger in oranger, not just yellow .

While I have read good things about Pennsylvania saffron- I have not been able toi acquire any in the course of many years.This is rich and fragrant saffron, at a price point that seems reasonable. Remember that, per ounce, saffron is more expensive than gold!Anyway- this jar gives me enough for both Scandinavian baked goods, and possibly a fish.seafood stew. I LOVE having enough saffron on hand to be able to use it when required!This is very fragrant and very deep-colored. I think it's a good buy.

If you have an accurate, calibrated digital scale, use it to confirm that you received the 3 grams you were promised.

I'm not much of a cook but after reading about the benefits of Saffron, I decided to try adding it to my ever tweaking diet. I researched it as I do everything and this one seemed like a good deal. I can tell you, this stuff is strong. I will add a tiny pinch to my hot tea or coffee and it adds a good different kind of flavor. I don't use sugar, but now use less than half of the splenda I usually put in my drink. I'm using this because of what I read about the health benefits, not because of anything I'm cooking. I like this stuff.

This is the second time I purchase this saffron. My ancestors were from Alicante and paella was prepared every Sunday. My grandpa cultivated the saffron bulbs and I picked the flowers in the early fall when I was a kid. Then my grandma taught me how to separate the flowers using tweezers and she dried the red filaments. Last night I prepared paella and used the Kiva saffron (I grind a few strands to a fine powder using an antique bronze mortar and pestle the size of a thimble , I really enjoy that part!) . So let's say I am used to the taste of good quality saffron.This product brings me back to my childhood, the taste is very good and fresh, there's no fillers just real saffron. The price is not bad either
