At The Spice Hunter, we carefully source all our herbs and spices from the most ideal growing regions throughout the world and bottle them at their peak of flavor. It's the unique combination of soil and climate that gives our herbs and spices their true flavor. Saffron Strands, hand-picked from the crocus flower, are whole from Spain and are all natural and contains no MSG or preservatives. It lends color and flavor to dressing, bouillabaisse, pilafs, Spanish paella, risottos, curries, cakes and breads.
