Details

Add a tantalizing flavor and aroma to your signature dishes using Shank's Spanish saffron! This Spanish saffron comes in a bottle containing 25 grains, approximately 1.5 grams or .05 ounces. The grains have a stringy appearance and a vivid red color. Capable of being used in a variety of cooking and baking applications, Spanish saffron can be used to make bouillabaisse, paella, risotto, and other dishes. A common component of Indian, Asian, and European cuisine, saffron is a very pungent and strong spice, and a little is said to go a long way. Steep the saffron in broth or hot water before you add it to your recipe to attain the strongest flavoring.

Shank's Extracts, Inc. was founded in 1899, initially creating flavorings to help make medicines taste better. Expanding their company and label through the years, their flavors, extracts, and food colorings are sold in major grocery chains across the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. Today, they continue to make quality products for both retail and industrial applications.

Best Spanish Saffron I've found for the money. Beautiful strands of Saffron and lovely aroma. The most you will ever need is 10 strands of saffron. Yes, that TEN strands. Then again, if saffron is the predominant flavour in you dish. If it isn't, just go with 5 strands Another win for Webstraunt.

Beautiful aroma! I use them for all Indian traditional sweets. When soaked in hot milk, this gives a very nice saffron color and aroma. Adds an extra touch to many Indian traditional rice dishes as well.

Shank's Spanish Saffron from webstaurant is a good find. Im excited to use Saffron for spanish dishes such as chicken with rice, spanish rice and paella. I started seeing alot of higher end restaurant using ridiculous amounts of saffron for garnishes aswell.

Not that great of a quality product. Didn't work well in the kitchen. Price is high but that's what it is for saffron. I would definitely not purchase this again, it did not stain the rice at all.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear this saffron didn't work out for you. We've not had the issue of not staining the rice before, but one possibility is storage. We're not saying this was your issue, but good advice for others reading this is that It is very important to make sure the seal is airtight and the saffron is not exposed to light. Thanks again for the review!

I love saffron when baking and in rice. This is excellent quality. Was not sure when the quantity was listed in grains however the package I received was more than what I get from the place where I usually purchase. Will buy again for sure.

Due to the high cost i had never purchased saffron before. At Webstaurants price i thought I would give it a try. WOW! I can not compare the flavor to any other product but the response to an old recipe at a dinner party was ecstatic when the only change made was adding this in....a convert for life!

Seriously, where are you going to buy any amount of saffron for under five bucks. It is the most expensive spice in the world after all. This package contains enough saffron for numerous uses. Usually we use it to add a delicate flavor and aroma to rice dishes, but we also use it in eggs and seafood. A small pinch will also add a beautiful yellow-orange color to your dish as well. If you've ever wanted to try saffron, get this. You will like it.

It is great to have on hand for adding that extra spark and rounding out the flavor for many dishes! Fresh and flavorful in these little sealed jars.

I actually purchased this as a part of an Asian themed father’s day gift for my uncle since he loves to cook and grill. This Spanish saffron comes in a bottle containing 7 grains, approximately .42 grams. I have always heard that it’s such a treat for chef’s to be able to incorporate this ingredient into their recipes, so I can’t wait to surprise him along with this, some Oolong tea, and SHAOHSING rice wine.

I was worried that this saffron was going to be really weak and low quality, but when I opened up the container, I could immediately taste the fragrance. Really good product, and it's enough Saffron to use for multiple dishes.

At first I was hesitant to purchase this saffron because the type of saffron is not on the label. It tastes just right and gave beautiful hue to rice. A pinch in warm almond milk is comfort in a mug.

Shank’s Spanish Saffron is an absolute game changer. I’d never used saffron of any sort prior to using this product on a rack of lamb ribs and I must say that I was absolutely blown away by the end product. The other flavors that I used were all things that I’d used before so I could immediately tell the dimension that Shank’s Spanish Saffron added to the dish.

This was bought for a special gift for my son who lives in St. Louis. While I was visiting them last summer he made a dish with saffron and I loved it. He showed me the saffron before he used it and explained the cost and the looks so you get a true saffron. I couldn't resist getting it and I am sending it to him for a special surprise--and hopefully he will make more for me on my next visit.

Pretty much a miss from this one. The small plastic container it came in overwhelmed the flavor of the saffron, giving it a plastic taste. I've never tried saffron before so I can't say what it even tastes like. I think glass containers would be nice for saffron.
