Mix it with butter and white pepper and float a slab of sweet compound butter on a grilled striped bass. Scatter its ruby threads into the base of a fantastic paella. Tuck it into a fresh corn polenta, or transform a ho-hum chicken soup. Once you start playing with saffron, it’s hard to stop, as it improves everything it touches. This is some of the best we’ve found.

Here's what you get:

  • 1 gram of saffron threads

Why We Love It

Ronit and Shuli Madmone are the rare married couple that work together and love doing so. They are committed to finding the best spices around the world, and are renowned for grinding every spice to order. They will mix up a batch of Herbes de Provence just before shipping, or smoke and grind chiles to make a chipotle-and-honey rub ideal for pork chops. Ronit and Shuli suggest flavoring cooking oil with whole spices and removing them before adding vegetables and meats, then adding powdered spices both just before a dish starts to simmer, and as you go along. This contributes wonderful layers of taste to curries and soups.
