Our saffron is born from the bond with our land and our territory, from the rediscovery of an ancient history and tradition and from a strong passion for quality. Our natural agricultural methods allow us to produce a superior quality spice, deep red in colour and with a strong round fragrance, containing all of the nuisances of the red gold.
