Princesa de Minaya Spanish Saffron - 1 Gram Feature

• D.O La Mancha
• The Best Saffron You Can Buy

The definitive gourmet food guide says 'Princesa de Minaya' is 'An artisanal saffron of immense quality'. Unquestionably the best of the best, La Tienda can bring it to your kitchen because the family that produces the saffron is satisfied with the life they have: producing the best, and in low volume. Our order meets their personal needs, they dream of no more. For several generations the family of Maria Ángeles and Juan Antonio Serrano has cultivated the highest quality saffron in Spain - if not the world - on their ten acre plot. They need about 400 crocus flowers to obtain the two grams of saffron you find packed in this bottle. This family collects, prunes and toasts saffron on a daily basis, which has a decisive effect on its aromatic, flavor profile and coloring strength - and all three are very intense. Their production for the year is no more than 50 lbs. depending on the harvest. Since saffron is such a precious condiment, the market is being flooded with many inferior grades and outright counterfeits. The 'Denomination of Origin La Mancha' seal on each jar, guarantees that Princesa de Minaya is actually grown in La Mancha, the site of the finest saffron (azafrán) in the world.
