Profile

The saffron flower must be hand picked at dawn on any of the 15 to 20 days in which it is in bloom mostly during end-October. The flowers are collected in baskets, and transported to the villages where the precious stigmas are removed by hand. To give an idea of the laborious nature of this work we can say that from 160,000 saffron flowers, approximately, 5.25 Kg of stigmas are obtained which, once dried, produce only 1 Kg of saffron.
