QUALITY SAFFRON


The quality of saffron is determined by its values ​​crocina, picrocrocinas and Safranal, chemicals that are responsible for the color, flavor and aroma characteristic of saffron, and his physical appearance: deep red, whole and free of floral remains strands.

As in the rest of the spices, like any other product that gives the land, the quality depends on several variables such as: geographic location, climate, terrain, selection of bulbs, method of cultivation, harvesting, handling product and subsequent work. Our goal is to find the best area of ​​production of each spice.

The biggest producers of saffron, today, are Iran, Spain, Greece, Morocco and India.

Our goal is to provide excellent saffron, both Spanish and Iran, giving consumers choice and freedom to choose what you want more.

In Iran we find areas where the cultivation of saffron originated from the Middle Ages. There is a great tradition regarding the cultivation of saffron in Spain and in Iran but the clearest difference, that will determine the quality of it, is based on roasting.

The highest quality of saffron is obtained through a strict process of roasting, which in Spain is carried out at high temperature and in a very short time, allowing the strands are flexible and resistant acquiring a bright bright red. Thus the result is an end product with intense aroma and coloring power. In Iran, this process varies by region so you can find crocuses of different qualities. Specifically, it is important to perform roasting the day of collection of flowers and after paring process. As a result the differences in the various quality levels are due to the growing process, peeling, drying and roasting.

So you can find Spanish saffron Iranian low quality as good quality and vice versa, since the original bulb is the same, Crocus sativus, and there are no varieties. We are professional in selecting the best saffron, ensuring the highest quality.
