Saffron at Christmas
The Christmas season has arrived and the atmosphere is tranquil and festive. It’s time to decorate our homes, play Secret Santa, get presents for our loved ones and look forward to the big celebrations. Now there is a special magic in the air: the smell of fir branches fills the room, the Christmas tree sparkles and candles brighten the wintery darkness. Your kitchen turns into a veritable bakery and maybe you’ve even started singing the odd carol or two?
Christmas time is also saffron time: because this luxurious, most expensive spice in the world makes the perfect gift for your loved ones. Whether you’re buying for parents, gourmet friends or kind aunts: browse through our online shop for unusual gift ideas, which guarantee joy under the Christmas tree! From Saffron Coffee to Saffron Honey and Saffron Essence – these gifts are beautiful and useful. Because saffron warms from the inside out, it’s the perfect spice in winter. Also warming are saffron tea and warm saffron milk after a long walk in the snow.
Tip: now’s the time to enjoy Saffron Coffee with the delights from your homely Christmas bakery. Because this is the season when Christmas angels – big and small – are swinging whisks and rolling pins through the air to create those delicious treats. And our premium saffron is always on the scene. An old nursery rhyme mentions “Saffron makes the cake yellow” for good reason, because with saffron you can conjure up appetizing Christmas baked goodies, crunchy biscuits and moist cakes. Discover amazing baking ideas here.
Or how about saffron biscuits, marzipan saffron biscuits or the Swedish yeasty Lussekat with saffron? Saffron baked goodies have a delicate flavor and a wonderful colour. The individual saffron threads can be re-used for decoration after the baking. Speaking of decorations: a completely natural and beautifully scented decoration can be made from sliced lemons and oranges, spreading a festive aroma during their drying process. Arrange with a few cinnamon sticks and sprinkle the saffron threads over it for prettiness. Another beautiful and festive idea is a large glass bowl with floating candles. For extra effect: why not use the saffron to colour the water golden yellow?
Most of all, however, enjoy this festive time with your loved ones, eat lavishly and well, and say cheers! with a glass of saffron champagne on Christmas Eve. We wish you a magical Christmas time!
