## Description

Saffron is the world's most expensive spice, as a result of its labor-intense production, unique flavour, and intense color. The stigmas of the flowers are hand-picked, early in the morning when the flowers are still closed. After that they are dried and toasted. It is full of crocetin (that gives the strong golden colour) and antioxidants. The plant is originally from Greece and Italy. A key ingredient in Risotto Milanese. Saffron is typically used in small quantities, and rehydrated in a warm liquid before being added to a dish. Saffron's color and flavour molecules are readily altered by light and heat, so this valuable spice is best stored in an airtight container in the freezer. To produce 1kg of saffron, tens of thousands flowers are needed. Pairing: risotto, fish, rice, and milk sweets. Taste Profile: bitter, with hay-like aroma . The ancient Morelli Pasta Factory is a fifth-generation family business, founded in 1860. It produces a vast range of specialties, using ancient craft techniques, free of both preservatives and coloring agents.
