Saffron is widely regarded as the world’s most expensive spice, but what led us to naming our company Saffron Fine Foods is the care and attention to detail that goes into harvesting the spice.  Saffron is the stamen of the crocus flower, harvested by hand with only 3 to 5 stamens per flower. The stamens are then dried and packaged, sent to the spice
