Grade before origin
What matters is all-red stigmas with no yellow style, a deep hay-and-honey aroma, and threads that colour slowly rather than instantly.
How to use it
Steep a pinch in a little warm water or milk for twenty minutes before adding. Never sprinkle dry into a hot pan.
Origin · Iran
A harvest measured in mornings.
Crocus flowers open before dawn and are picked the same morning. Only the three red stigmas are kept. A gram is a field's worth of patience.
