The Story of Saffron: A Journey of Perseverance and Passion
At Safranco, we’re not just a saffron company – we’re a family. A family that’s dedicated to sharing the story of this ancient spice and its incredible journey from the fields of Iran to your table.
The Origin of Saffron
Saffron’s history dates back thousands of years to ancient Persia (modern-day Iran), where it was considered a precious and sacred spice. The delicate stigmas of the saffron crocus flower were carefully hand-picked, dried, and traded along the Silk Road, spreading its popularity across the ancient world.
The Challenges of Saffron Production
Growing saffron is a labor-intensive process. It takes approximately 75,000 flowers to produce just one pound of high-quality saffron. The intricate process involves:
- Hand-picking: Carefully selecting the finest flowers at dawn, when the stigmas are still moist and delicate.
- Drying: Gently drying the stigmas to preserve their flavor, aroma, and color.
- Sorting: Sorting the saffron threads by hand to ensure only the highest-quality stigmas are used.
The Legacy of Saffron
Throughout history, saffron has been a symbol of wealth, power, and prestige. From ancient Greek and Roman cuisine to modern-day molecular gastronomy, saffron has played a significant role in shaping the culinary world.
