A little pot of gold from the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. The crocus sativus flower has to be carefully harvested by hand, and the stigma removed the same day. Since ancient times saffron has been known for its distinctive colour, pungent taste and medicinal properties. This deep red Lebanese saffron has a beautiful rich colour, a pinch is enough to transform your dishes. In a crème anglaise, using saffron gives a hint of the exotic, as it does in a rice pudding. See our recipe section for more ideas.

You can smell the saffron before removing the stopper! We’ve had many compliments from those who have enjoyed using it in their cooking.
It makes a striking present, as it comes with a small cotton drawstring bag made for us by the Tahaddi sewing workshop in Beirut. We recommend infusing it in hot liquid or water for at least 15 minutes before using.
The jar also makes a great vase for snowdrops and early spring flowers!
