Saffron

[Zumbruk]

Can anyone recommend a decent online seller of saffron?

I use these guys a lot for spices, seeds etc. Their prices are usually competitive and delivery is free for orders over £20.

Thanks, but sadly, English saffron appears to be out of stock until harvest season (Sep/Oct), at least in all the places I've looked so far.

OK, my apologies for that.

I punted saffron from Morocco to UK restaurants for a bit, made a load.
Wouldn't bother cooking with it!

Say 5 to 10g. The problem is that Amazon have hundreds of different brands, mostly with feedback ~4.5. Are any of them actually better than the others?

Perfectly okay for everyday stuff.

I've never bought saffron from them and have never bought online either (not a great recommendation, then ), but they have a shop in Borough Market that I use a lot - https://www.spicemountain.co.uk/
