Saffron Specialist – the red gold

Saffron, is with its golden colour and unique flavour a celebrated spice. It is not only an important ingredient for the Swedish Christmas traditions, but is also used in many other applications world-wide.

The liquid Saffron Extract from Aromatic is based on pure saffron pistils of top-quality. A unique extraction process enhances the over hundred natural aroma substances found in saffron, which lends our Saffron Extract intensive colour and a rich flavour. The Crocus flowers and its pistils are harvest by hand, and we have chosen to only use the part of the pistil called Coupe, which gives a purifier product.

Liquid saffron extract has many advantages over powder products. The extract dissolves easier in the dough, does not impact gluten, it extends shelf-life of the baked goods and prevent it from drying out. Saffron Extract from Aromatic is very cost efficient thanks to the low dosage, which render an optimal baking result with a characteristic taste and intensive colour.

During 2011, we have been focusing on developing different formulations from our Saffron Extract, to meet different demands in the market. In our assortment, there is saffron enhanced with flavouring substances for a sweet and rich taste, but also a number of natural variations in different concentrations, as well as an extract containing no thickening agent free from E-numbers.
