PRODUCTION PROCESS

HARVESTING It is carried out during the flowering of the plant, which takes place between October and November. This work is done by hand.

DISBRIZNE This consists of separating the red stigmas from the rest of the flower with firm finger pressure, 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 This is perhaps the most important work, and consists of drying or roasting the strands separated in the desbrizne.
