Rudca Food Spanish Saffron Premium Quality Saffron Threads from Spain 2gr

I haven't actually used this yet because I forgot to get rice while I was out shopping, but I do think this is good quality saffron by the way it looks and smells. It definitely looks fresh and the expiration date reflects that as well. I can't wait to actually use it. I will update if I encounter any issues with it, but I have a really high opinion of it now and would get this brand again when needed.

Great saffron for a pretty good price. This was super fresh and had a great flavor. I mean I've never found a saffron I haven't liked but this one is really good. Great quality and will def buy again.

When I was a kid saffron rice at home was a treat because saffron was incredibly expensive. When this was available to order for a Vine product review I had to get it to make rice at home.PROS* really good quality saffron* VERY good price of $12.99 as a tiny bit goes a long way* expires 1/3/2026 so will last a long time* perfect for rice and other recipesCONS* if it wasn't for my mom telling me how to use it I'd have had to look it up because there are no instructions, not even basic, on containerHIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is a wonderful product for any kitchen!

I ordered this to use the saffron threads for paella. This is an expensive spice to use, so I think that it is a good value comparatively to others on the market. The threads look fresh and red, not old, they are of good condition. The glass jar that they come in is airtight and keeps the spice fresh, no plastic.

Got this small container of saffron and the taste and flavor are great to use for desserts. It smells quite fragrant and produces a beautiful color.

I'm not as knowledgeable about saffron as I hope to be soon, this is my first time cooking with it at all. But what I can say is that some of the most delightful ice cream I've had, was flavored with saffron, and that is what I will be attempting to make myself with this. It arrived well sealed, smells interesting, sort of like molasses, slightly chemical too, but i looked this up and it is very characteristic of saffron to smell this way due to certain phytochemicals in its make-up, so this odd scent has nothing to do with the processing of it, and everything to do with the uniqueness of the plant fronds themselves. I am very excited to try this finally! Small jar, ( see photo) but that is to be expected with saffron. A little bit goes a long way!

This saffron spice is prestigious and great for cooking basically anything you want. it adds a sweet yet earthy flavor to anything. Even rice, it also is a good substitute for color and making yellow rice. It adds nice umami flavor without making it too salty. It has a nice aroma that combines with many different flavors and texture. Well versatile and you get a great value as you only need a few saffron threads to have a lot of flavor.
