The certified organic AgriGeuna® farm produces premium dried saffron threads, packaged in a glass bottle with a gift box.
Saffron is grown as pistils and is red-yellow in color. It is harvested by hand and then dried at very low temperatures, ready to be used in cooking. In particular, it pairs very well with cheeses and pasta dishes.
Our "Zafferanetto- Villaretto saffron" is grown by the certified organic AgriGeuna® farm.
The saffron plant grows up to 20–30 cm tall and produces up to four flowers, each with three deep crimson threads. We harvest the stems and threads by hand and dry them at very low temperatures so that they can subsequently be used mainly in cooking.
Saffron, ranked among the most expensive spices in the world, originated in Greece or Asia Minor and was first cultivated in Greece.
It also contains a carotenoid pigment that gives dishes and fabrics a golden-yellow hue. To bring out this pigment, you need to place the "Zafferanetto- Villaretto saffron" in a glass with some water, at room temperature, and let it rest for a full day before use (the longer you leave it, the better).
With 10 dg of "Zafferanetto- Villaretto saffron" you can make 27/30 servings of risotto, penne, spaghetti......
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: the threads should be placed in lukewarm water the day before use so that they can slowly release all their classic yellow color, their wonderful aroma, and their majestic flavor.
