Saffron, actually a type of crocus, is obtained from the stigma within the flower. The crocus blooms only once a year for a few weeks, and due to the elaborate harvesting and processing, saffron is considered the "most expensive spice in the world." Up to 200,000 crocus flowers are needed for 1 kg of saffron threads. This precious spice tradition has a history of at least 3600 years and was already a luxury item in ancient times. Immerse yourself in the world of Herbaria's exquisite saffron and enrich your culinary creations with this timeless and precious spice.
