I need some saffron. I know that Penzeys saffron has been talked about
here, but I cannot remember which one was recommended as being really
top notch.

Anyone remember?

They're all good but the mogra is the best... buy a gram of each and
try them to find your favorite. I suggest you don't buy more than you
anticipate using in a year.

And remember, saffron may be the most expensive spice to buy but it's
not the most expensive to use... a little goes a long way. And after
a point you're only wasting it, adding more will not increase the
saffron flavor, that will only make the dish bitter. With saffron
less is more.

Saffron threads freeze very well, for several years.
