Description :
Saffron is one of the most expensive and least known spices in the world. Few people know where saffron comes from and how it is harvested, even though we can retrace its presence in ancient works such as the Song of Songs and the Illiad.
Saffron comes from the stigma of a small crocus flower, the Crocus sativus, which is very adaptable, easy to cultivate, and originated in the eastern Mediterranean, including Macedonia, the Peloponnese, and parts of Asia Minor. Thanks to its versatility it has become part of the gastronomic and cultural traditions of many countries, including Spain.
