Description
Our saffron stigmas come from Spain, which is generally considered the best quality saffron to have in your store cupboard. The stigmas, sometimes referred to as styles are harvested from the centre of the crocus flowers, they are used as a natural colouring to give sauces, soups and sweet and savoury dishes a golden yellow colour and they also impart a delicate, somewhat honey-like flavour.
The Saffron crocus – not to be confused with the Autumn Crocus (Colchicum autumnale) or the Garden Crocus varieties such as Crocus vernalis and Crocus falvus gullkrokus. Saffron crocus grow from a bulb up to 30cm in height and are believed to be native to the Eastern area of Greece. The leaves are long thin and blade like and emerald green in colour, each bulb can produce up to 4 flowers, each flower has 5-6 petals and are pale lilac in colour with magenta veined markings, inside the flowers sits 3 deep red stigmas.
