I received this item via the vine programme and here is my honest and unbiased review.Lovely stuff and an excellent price!5 stars!

My wife likes cooking and she is trying all the time various recipes and currently she is interested in natural colouring and Spanish dishes and this saffron has given her the chance to experience with authentic spices and the food is a nice, subtle taste and colour with just using few threads of the saffron. The aroma is fragrant and the colour gives subtle orange undertones. She uses it is desserts as well and they not oly taste nice, but also a more appealing profile of the dishes. The threads are easy to use, dissolving them is a little amount of warm water or just infusing the desserts by putting one or two threads. For my wife, this has been not only a good way to practice new dishes, but also experience the authentic and traditional flavours so definitely recommend it.

I love Spanish cuisine and with my rice I normally use a little bit of saffron and this one is rich and it gives a nice aroma and taste to my rice. Even though it seems small is it is 0.5 grams, the actual quality is very good with deep red threads and intense aroma. I used it few times now for paella and it has ben surprisingly fragrant and with a nice orange colour. The actual threads dissolve in warm water and release a nice golden colour with rich floral aroma that elevates any of my dishes. I do like how it transforms my dishes visually and from the flavour standpoint and therefore I do recommend it.

I tried just few times before cooking with saffron and I liked the flavour that it gives so i decided to give this one a go and I want to mention that is worth using it, especially in paella. At the beginning I thought that 0.5 grams is too small, however I use just few threads per dish and it completely transforms the taste giving it a nice aroma and dishes taste just like I would be somewhere in Spain. It also gives a nice and vibrant golden colour looking professional and appetising. I consider that the threads are high quality and they came in the pack long and unbroken and deeply coloured.

The AlFood Premium Saffron is excellent! The 100% pure Zafran threads are unmistakably from the most recent harvest, with a bright colour and intoxicatingly rich aroma. With just 1g, the ~410 strands are abundant and potent, offering a rich touch to cooking and tea. This saffron is clearly farm-fresh, and the quality is very exceptional. Highly recommended for those seeking authentic, high-quality saffron. Five stars.

This is 1g of saffron threads. Currently it is priced at a very hefty £10.99. The saffron is fresh and tastes good. It comes very well packaged in a small plastic tub.✅ hand harvested✅ no dyes or preservatives✅ can be added to various teas and food

Lovely quality saffrom stamen threads, the box contents supplied has a total 1g which may not seem a lot but would be enough for about 10 servings. Perfect for gentle colour and flavour to rice, curries, soups etc, just a small pinch is required.It is well known that saffron is an expensive spice by weight though it is very delicate and used sparingly so the price at £10.99 (at the time of review) seems to be around the expected price point.
