Note

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well or whisk before using as the oil may separate.

Variations: If you cannot find sherry vinegar, a high-quality red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute.

Tip: For a more intense saffron flavor, let the saffron steep in the vinegar for 10-15 minutes before whisking in the oil.
