Persian Saffron: The Red Gold of Culinary Arts
Persian saffron, often referred to as "red gold," is a highly prized spice derived from the stigma of the Crocus sativus flower. Renowned for its exquisite flavor, aroma, and vibrant crimson hue, Persian saffron is considered one of the world's finest and most expensive spices. Cultivated primarily in Iran, the arid climate and traditional harvesting methods contribute to its exceptional quality.
