What Makes Ground Saffron Special?

Our greatest culinary treasure—full of aroma and flavor—is now available in a protected 200 mg glass jar of ground saffron. This convenient format is designed to preserve the intensity of one of the world’s most prized spices and make it easier than ever to incorporate into your cooking.

Carmencita is one of Spain’s most trusted and recognized spice brands, found in gourmet shops and supermarkets alike. With a long-standing commitment to tradition and quality, Carmencita selects only the finest saffron to ensure an exceptional product in every jar.

Saffron, often referred to as “red gold”, is derived from the stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower. Producing just one kilo of saffron requires harvesting over 150,000 flowers by hand—each delicate stigma also separated manually. This meticulous process is what makes saffron the most expensive spice in the world.

Ground saffron retains the full range of natural pigments—like crocin and safranal—that give it its characteristic golden color and slightly bitter, earthy flavor. In its powdered form, saffron is both potent and practical, ready to use without the extra steps required for saffron threads.

How to Use Ground Saffron in Your Recipes

Unlike saffron threads, ground saffron is pre-prepared and ready to use, making it ideal for quick and effective flavoring in a wide variety of dishes.

Simply dissolve a pinch in a small amount of hot liquid—such as water or broth (never oil, since saffron does not release its color in fat)—and stir into your dish a few minutes before finishing the cooking. This method ensures even color distribution and full release of its aromatic properties.

It’s especially well-suited for paellas, fideuàs, risottos, stews, and soups, offering a practical alternative without sacrificing the depth or quality of flavor.

Saffron Storage: Preserving Its Aroma and Color

Saffron is not immune to time—it gradually loses its potency if not stored correctly. Protecting it from humidity and light is essential to preserving its vibrant color and aromatic richness.

Our packaging is designed to safeguard the saffron powder from environmental damage. Still, for best results, store it in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Not all saffron is created equal. Its quality depends on both its origin and purity. At Carmencita, we ensure minimal floral residue and high concentration of active compounds, delivering top-tier performance and flavor in every use.

Why Buy This Extra Ground Saffron for Paella?

The 200 mg jar of extra ground saffron from Carmencita is a fast, easy, and effective way to infuse your dishes with authentic Spanish flavor. Because it’s ready to use, there’s no need for roasting, grinding, or steeping—making it ideal for everyday cooks and professionals alike.

It brings your paellas and fideuàs to life with a natural golden hue and unmistakable flavor, staying true to the essence of the traditional recipe. This ground saffron is the perfect companion for those seeking both authenticity and convenience in the kitchen.
