Description
The Cru Caviar saffron threads are the essence of the purest saffron, hand-picked and selected stigma by stigma to offer unparalleled aroma and color.
Origin and processing
Cru Caviar’s cultivations are located at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,200 m, where the Crocus sativus stigmas slowly mature under the sun. Each flower is harvested at dawn, then the saffron threads are dried in low-temperature ovens within a few hours to preserve their organoleptic properties.
Organoleptic characteristics
The threads have a deep red color with orange reflections. Upon opening the jar, they release floral, citrusy, and slightly honeyed notes. On the palate, they offer a persistent sweet-bitter aftertaste, ideal for:
-
Risottos such as Milanese-style
-
Fish soups and flavorful broths
-
Desserts like spiced cookies and artisanal ice creams
-
Light infusions and marinades
Usage tips
To make the most of each stigma, soak 4–5 threads in 50 ml of lukewarm water for 30 minutes; then add the liquid at the end of cooking. This method releases all the coloring and aromatic power of the Cru Caviar saffron threads, without altering their delicacy.
Storage and quality
Store in an airtight container, in a dark, cool, and dry place. Thanks to its very low residual moisture, it maintains its fragrance and color intact for up to 3 years from the packaging date.
Certifications
EU certified organic product, controlled at every stage by independent laboratories to ensure the absence of contaminants and maximum purity.
