Golden Tradition Saffron

Saffron is ready in a brief crocus moment, when red stigmas can be lifted by hand and dried before aroma disappears. Golden Tradition Saffron turns that Pacific Northwest harvest into threads that hold color, fragrance and value beyond the flower.

Hand picking, petal separation and drying preserve the spice’s aroma.
