The very expensive saffron you are referring to comes from Spain, Mancha I believe. Oh, and here's a link...

Safron of la Mancha

Remember, saffron is just the stamen from the plant called crocus. The flower is only open for one day, and if you don't pick it, the flower dies. You would need a couple of hundred acres, and tons of workers to get those figures. Granted, restaurants (and people like myself) would buy it, but unless you have a butt load of cash, you're best off just growing for yourself. Five grams of saffron goes for about $70. Bought some at Costco for only $25. Schuweet. Waiting for them to mark it down so I can buy the lot.

Yah but saffron mashed potatoes are so f'n good. mmmmm...

i cant even taste saffron on any of the dishes that had it.
can anyone tell me why the taste is that important that it costs that much to produce

Funny, Ive never had it before, or atleast not that I have known.

The saffron should be torn or cut into smaller pieces to help release some flavor. It also depends on how much they use. Less saffron=less taste, especially if the dish is large.

What can it be compared to?
