A Spice with Star Potential: Saffron in Star-rated Cuisine

Saffron is the brightest star in the star-rated cuisine. Top chefs in every country love playing with the most expensive spice in the world, which can achieve big effects in even small quantities. Saffron offers an experience for all senses making it, without question, the most interesting spice of all. The fact that it doesn’t land on our plates every day, does of course add to its charm as well. For most gourmets it’s always a highlight to discover a saffron dish on the menu. And yet, the results are never dull or predictable because there are hardly any flavours that do not go well with saffron. The spice refines sweet and savoury dishes and also goes perfectly well with vegetables, fish and meat.

The oriental, smoky and earthy aroma is what makes saffron’s flavour so unique. It can transform a simple dish, like risotto or pasta, into a complex taste experience. We eat with our eyes first; saffron creates extraordinary colour effects on your plate. The golden yellow colouration is characteristic of every saffron dish. Top chefs love this colourful game and by combining saffron with a carefully-considered selection of other foods, they are able to let their imagination run free on a visual level too. Saffron inspires!

Last but not least, saffron also improves the mood and is therefore one of the most sensual foods of all. The intense redness of the dried, purple, autumn blooming crocus flower stigmas alone, hints at this spice’s powers to fire up our senses.

Of course only saffron of quality class I (according to ISO standard), finds its way into star-rated kitchens. Lower grades can not only be spotted due to the cheaper price, but also quickly be exposed by experts by its inferior taste. International top chefs like the ones at the luxury Berlin restaurant VAU appreciate MIASA Saffron, because it stands for highest quality and purity. MIASA exclusively offers the finest Sargol saffron (from the Persian for “from the flower head”), which originates from the Khorasan region on the historic Silk Road from Northern Iran. This region is considered to be the origin of the purest threads worldwide and therefore, the best source for saffron.
