ORIGIN
Saffron, often known as the “Red Gold,” is a precious condiment in cuisine across the world. Saffron was first introduced to Spain in X century and is now an essential component in traditional Spanish recipes. However, it is a rarity and an expensive ingredient to obtain. One rose of saffron produces only three stigmas.
Olmeda sources our Spanish Saffron from the city Toledo, ensuring high-quality and authentic product to add to your cocktail. Our focus is to deliver high quality ingredients to guarantee satisfaction and convenience. Adding saffron to cocktails and other simple dishes can be an easy way to elevate a tired recipe.
