Did you know?

To make a kilo of saffron it is necessary to manually collect about 170,000
flowers, in six weeks (flowering period) and to maintain the properties of the
spice it must be harvested during the early hours of the morning. The great
work it requires makes this spice the most expensive in the world.

“Since more than seven thousand years saffron is considered to be
the elixir of youth“
