Saffron -- shelf life?

[fifibee]

I bought some saffron when I went to Spain a few years back because it was cheaper. But I've been sooo stingy at using it that I have yet to finish the pack. I'm wondering how long does saffron last?

TIA. :)

I'd say...years and years. :) At least that's how long I've had mine and it still smells as strong as ever. Just keep it in the fridge (that's what I do at least).
