The World's Best Saffron Coming To Costco In May

Starting in May, you'll be able to buy the world’s best saffron from Spain's Castilla La Mancha region at your local Costco.

Just one question remains: How long will it take to use up a Costco size pack of saffron?

The world's best saffron — at Costco?


When I got home I spoke with Costco buyer Gary Kotzen. "We're really excited about this," he said, incredulous that I had been in one of the very fields where Costco's "next big thing" was being harvested. But I was equally incredulous. How could this truly artisanal specialty food find its way into my local warehouse store?

"We want the best of the best, and we want to offer it to our members without them having to pay the premium," Kotzen said. "We'll bring it in, package it ourselves and offer it to our members at about one third or even one fifth of the cost of similar saffron . . . We did the same thing in 1997 with Tuscan olive oil."

By mid-April, or perhaps early May, he said, certified saffron from La Mancha will be in the stores.
