Often considered the most luxurious and expensive spice in the world, saffron has a history that dates back to the ancient Greeks. Saffron adds rich, earthy flavor and exquisite yellow color to many rice dishes. We slowly infuse our amazing saffron with our Jasmine Rice, long-grain rice with a sweet scent and mild flavor.

Orzo is delicate oblong shapes of pasta. A versatile, flexible ingredient, it has been a mainstay in Italian cuisine for centuries. Rice-shaped, it works well as a rice substitute or paired with rice.

Our Spanish Rice and Orzo Blend contains three all-natural flavored orzos. Maize Orzo contributes the subtle sweet flavor of corn. Black Bean Orzo offers the bold, basic taste of black beans. Red Pepper Orzo contains spicy red chiles for a pleasant heat that stands up to rich, savory dishes.
