Delitaliana Spanish Saffron Tin 2-Gram, All Red Coupe Quality Threads Category I, Pure Saffron Filaments

I bought this saffron to add to paella that I was making for some guests. I got a whiff of its beautiful aroma the very second I removed the plastic wrapping from around the tin. It was very aromatic, perfectly colored and of high quality. I have had paella at some VERY fine restaurants and the paella I made yesterday was equally enchanting! I attribute the deliciousness of my own paella I made yesterday to this saffron. There was one person who commented that this saffron had no flavor and another person commented that it didn't "taste as expected". As to the first person, I found this saffron was incredibly flavorful (as in FULL of FLAVOR) and as to the second person, I don't know what they were expecting, but saffron has a unique flavor all its own. It is difficult to nail down a description of what saffron tastes like, but it should taste a bit like pungent honey with hints of floral--and that is what this saffron tasted like! On top of the awesome flavor, the cost was VERY wallet-friendly! It is very rare that you find saffron for this price that tastes this good! I will definitely be buying more of this product in the future, and also will definitely be checking out other products by Delitaliana!

I normally use other brand of saffron but this time because of the next day delivery I ordered this saffron. I used it immediately - The flavor was very good and so was the color. If you are buying whole 1 Oz tin then there are other brands at better price but for smaller quantity this is very good product. Do not think twice just buy it

I don’t know much about saffron, I’ve never cooked with it, I just know I like the flavor when I’ve had it in food before. I know it’s expensive and my local market does not carry it, but I really wanted some so I can learn to cook with it. I have Spanish saffron I bought in Spain, but used it only once and it had no flavor or color.I bought this on Amazon and looked up recipes. I learned to soak saffron in hot water and add it to your dish. I made saffron rice an it was amazing. It had a pretty yellow color and was loaded with rich flavor. I found this brand to also be a great price, so I didn’t feel like I blew a ton of money. I’ll buy this again.

Basmati Rice with saffron is simple and delicious fragrant dish

I normally buy my saffron from a brick and mortar store in one of the communities near by. Because it is a bit further than the local shopping district and trying to minimize how many places I shop at during the shut down of our county, I was unable to go out to that particular store. I thought I would try Amazon for it. I was pleasantly surprised. It was not overpriced and I also received over double what I receive from the store where I buy it. Flavor wise- it right in line with the saffron from the store. I also like the container it comes in. It seems airtight. Metal. So no light is going to destroy it either. Would definitely buy again.

Costs less than at my local supermarket and is as good or better. Nice little tin can be reused for other things.

This is a fabulous deal. To test the quality of Saffron you place several stamens in a bit of water in a glass dish/bowl. After a few minutes the water should turn yellow and not be cloudy, the stamens should remain red and not become clear. This test tells you if the Saffron is laced with Safflower stamens. Also, a good sign is there are some yellow stamens which is natural to genuine Saffron, and this does have some yellow stamens.The bottom line is this is a great deal for such a high priced product which sometimes rivals the price of gold, depending on the quality. The one thing I would suggest is to place the tin in an air tight bag as soon as it arrives. I let mine sit in a drawer for several weeks and when I finally opened it, to make Paella, and it was quite dry - MY BAD. You live and learn.I would recommend this in a heartbeat. A fabulous deal for legit Saffron

Neither the worst and certainly no the best.
