PRODUCTION PROCESS

• GATHERING

  • The gathering of saffron is carried out when the plant blooms, which takes place between the months of October and November. This work is done by hand.

• “DESBRIZNE” OR PEELING THE ROSE

  • This consists of separating, with firm finger pressure, the red stigmas from the rest of the flower, by cutting along the style. The different qualities recognised depend on the amount of red and yellow parts it contains. The more red parts it contains, the more active principles the whole will contain.

• ROASTING THE THREADS

  • This is perhaps the most important work, and consists of drying or roasting the strands separated in the debittering process.
