We grow Crocus Sativus (Saffron) near Ridgetown, ON. Saffron is a key component in cuisines around the world. Fresh saffron smells sweet like fresh cut hay with a flora aroma. The flavour is slightly bitter with the sweet taste of honey. Everyone experiences the aroma and taste differently. To use saffron is easy: it must be infused to release the flavour and aroma. It should not be cooked or boiled and can be added to any dish to give it a unique flavour. Be adventurous, creative and try saffron in your favourite recipes.
