Where do I start?

  • infuse the threads for 24 hours

To unlock the fantastic colour, full flavour, capacity and aroma of Tas-Saff saffron, it must be infuse in hot water for 24 hours. The resultant liquid is then used in cooking.

A little goes a very long way

Only 100mg of Tas-Saff saffron is needed to flavour and colour a dish for 4-8 people. Many other saffron producers recommend 500mg to achieve the same result. The reason for this is because Tas-Saff maintains only the highest quality of saffron in its products and many of the other saffron products being marketed worldwide are of a lower or mixed quality saffron.

Alternative preparations

Although saffron is water soluble, it can be infused into alcohols, acidic liquids and cold water preparations, and threads will continue to release their flavour and aromas for up to 24 hours.

Due to it's nature, it is not recommended that saffron is added to oils, butters and fats in your preparation, and that whisks are avoided in culinary preparation to prevent tangling in wires and the failure to fully release flavours.
