How much saffron should I use per dish?

For most dishes, a small pinch or about five to ten threads is enough. Saffron is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

What is the best way to use saffron?

Soak the threads in warm water, stock or milk for at least ten minutes before adding to your dish. This helps the flavour and colour release evenly.

Is Spanish saffron different from Iranian saffron?

Spanish saffron tends to have a slightly milder flavour and a more pronounced colouring strength compared to Iranian saffron, which can be more floral and intense.
