Saffron Powder

Spanish Saffron Powder is a finely ground form of saffron that brings a distinctive aroma and a deep golden colour to food. The flavour is fragrant and slightly honeyed with a gentle earthiness, and it works best when it is stirred into warm liquid so it can spread evenly through the dish. It is a classic choice for Spanish cooking like paella, but it is just as useful in risotto, fish stews, creamy sauces and even sweet bakes where you want that unmistakable saffron character. Because it is powdered, it blends quickly, which makes it a practical option for everyday cooking when you want consistent colour and flavour without any fuss.

Key Features:

  • Pack size 0.5g.
  • Product type Spanish saffron powder for cooking.
  • Fine texture that disperses quickly in liquids.
  • Ideal for small batch home recipes where a measured pinch is all you need.

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Paella style rice with chicken, peppers and peas, stirred through with saffron for that classic golden finish.
  • Saffron risotto with parmesan and a squeeze of lemon, served with grilled prawns or roast veg.
  • Simple fish stew with tomatoes, fennel and saffron, finished with good olive oil and crusty bread.
  • Saffron and orange shortbread, where the spice gives a warm perfume through the biscuit.

How do you bloom saffron powder properly?

Mix it into a tablespoon or two of warm water, stock or milk and leave it for around ten minutes, then add the whole mixture to your recipe so the colour and aroma spread evenly.

Why is Spanish saffron so expensive?

Saffron comes from the stigmas of the crocus flower and it has to be harvested by hand in very small amounts, which makes it labour intensive and naturally costly compared with most spices.

Can you add saffron powder directly to a dry dish like rice?

You can, but it is more reliable to dissolve it first, because saffron needs moisture to release its colour and flavour evenly and you avoid little pockets that taste stronger than the rest of the dish.

Ingredients:

100% Saffron.
