Savour the Magic of Zafferano on September 20th!

Get ready for a delightful Friday night at Dal-Italia Delicatessen on 20th September 2024 with our Deli Dining experience! Make sure to reserve your spot as it’s a long weekend.

Now, let’s talk about a little magic from Italy - 🇮🇹 Zafferano (Saffron) 🇮🇹. This precious spice is renowned for its enchanting aroma, exquisite flavour, and numerous medicinal properties. It’s the dried stigma of the Crocus Sativus flower, harvested before sunrise when the flowers are in full bloom. It takes the stigmas from 150 flowers to make just one gram of Zafferano!

Saffron is a key ingredient in the famous Risotto Milanese, adding a golden colour and depth of flavour. It’s traditionally enjoyed on its own or paired beautifully with “Ossobucco,” a veal shank stew.

To use saffron, gently heat the filaments in a pan, add warm water, and let it steep for 10 minutes. Then, add the infused water and filaments to your dish or use the powdered saffron directly.

At Dal-Italia 🇮🇹 Deli, we offer various brands of Stigmas (Filaments) and powders (Crushed Stigmas). Our small packets are perfect for single-use dishes, ensuring no waste and just the right amount for the perfect risotto or any creamy pasta sauce.

Pop in for a recipe when you purchase your Zafferano!

See you soon and enjoy your weekend!
