Size
1 g

Saffron threads of Zafferano dell'Aquila PDO, grown on the Navelli plateau in Abruzzo and produced by the Cooperativa Altopiano di Navelli, the cooperative of nearly one hundred growers founded in Civitaretenga by Silvio Salvatore Sarra.

The saffron comes from the red stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower, picked by hand in the early morning before the flowers open, separated by hand and toasted over almond or oak wood embers in the traditional way, then packed whole. Its ruby red color, intense yet delicate aroma and unmistakable taste enhance dishes without covering their flavors.

  • Type: Saffron threads, Zafferano dell'Aquila PDO
  • Producer: Cooperativa Altopiano di Navelli, Navelli (L'Aquila, Abruzzo)
  • Best for: Risotto alla milanese, fish soups, fresh pasta, breads and desserts
  • Size: 1 g

For a classic saffron risotto, allow about 10 threads per person. Steep the threads in half a cup of hot water for at least 4 hours (the longer, the better), then stir the infusion into the risotto just before it is ready. The same infusion can be used in fish soups, fresh pasta, breads and desserts.

Ingredients: Saffron threads (Zafferano dell'Aquila PDO).

Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct light.

Amazing Flavor

The Zafferano dell'Aquila saffron had amazing, rich flavor. I’ve tried less expensive saffrons and they do not compare. It’s worth the expense.

Very Tasty!

Just a few threads in a quart of water produces an awesome flavorful and refreshing beverage! I highly recommend trying this for yourself! You will be very pleased!
