Saffron was central to the economy of Abruzzo (where producer Casina Rossa is located) throughout the Medieval period, and its re-planting is part of an effort to reintroduce traditional crops to the rural economy. Saffron & Salt is beautiful in its vibrant orange color, with whole saffron filaments mixed in, and its captivating flavor is perfect for white meat, seafood, and rice-based dishes.
Makes A Nice Garnish

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The Saffron & Salt acts as a nice garnish to rissotos and seafood. While the aroma enhances these dishes, it is not meant to act as a seasoning salt.

This may not be adequate to season an entire dish, like a risotto, I think additional salt will be required.
