Saffron

Next to our olive trees we have dedicated a small space for the cultivation and natural production of saffron in stigmas as it is more precious because it preserves theorganoleptic and nutritional properties at its best and is more difficult to sophisticated.

With an intense aroma and a bright red color, our saffron is the ideal spice in the kitchen to enhance the taste of your dishes and give flavor and character to the first courses, to the second courses of meat and fish but also to desserts and bread making.

Furthermore, saffron is a prized spice as it boasts great medicinal properties. It is a powerful antioxidant thanks to its high carotenoidcontent and is our perfect ally thanks to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticonvulsant, anticancer and antidepressant properties. Rich in vitamins B1 and B2, it is also a powerful digestive and is used in traditional Persian medicine for throat problems and menstrual disorders and in Ayurvedic medicine for asthma, arthritis and colds. Finally, it is an excellent aphrodisiac, stimulates memory and learning and is a valuable aid against stress.
