Saffron

Saffron, the world’s most prized and expensive spice!  Saffron has extreme aromas of deep honey and tastes similar but slightly bitter.   The deep red gives off a yellowish golden color to the food that accompanies the spice, specifically rice, risotto, and seafood.  Saffron is used in Spanish, Italian, Indian, Moorish, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes.  It is most popular in the infamous Spanish dish, paella.
