Burlap & Barrel - Herati Saffron

Herati Saffron Delicate floral flavor, golden color, and warm, honeyed fragrance. Burlap & Barrel's uncommonly delicate Herati Saffron threads have a beautiful delicate floral flavor, golden color and warm, honeyed fragrance reminiscent of dried roses and fresh hay. The threads are pulled carefully from the flower, leaving a characteristic flame-colored tail. Saffron is a key element in sweet and savory cuisines from the Mediterranean to South Asia.

Burlap & Barrel was born when co-founder Ethan Frisch tasted wild cumin in Afghanistan and realized that the spices in American kitchens were a pale shadow of what farmers actually produce. Since 2016, he and Ori Zohar have been building direct relationships with farmers worldwide, paying premium prices for spices of extraordinary quality. We carry the largest Burlap & Barrel selection in Denver because their spices are, simply, the best we have ever tasted.

Pairs with: Paella, risotto, bouillabaisse, Persian rice, or infused into cream for desserts.

Available at The Ambrosian Pantry, 263 Josephine St in Cherry Creek, Denver, where every spice on the shelf has been chosen for a reason. Shop in store or at theambrosianpantry.com.
