DESCRIPTION

P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) and Certified Organic

Saffron, the GOLD OF GREEK EARTH as it is called, was among the most popular and valuable spices of ancient civilizations, for its flavour, colour, pharmaceutical and aphrodisiac properties.

Cleopatra used it in her cosmetics, ancient Phoenicians in their offers to Goddess Astarte, Homer mentioned it in his writings, while we still find it in The Old Testament.

The residents of the area plant saffron every summer and when Autumn arrives remove by hand the precious spots of the beautiful flower and they carefully drain them so that they make the deep red delicate yarns. Nearly fifty thousand spots are needed in order to produce 100 gr of red saffron.

The Greek saffron belongs to the highest quality of saffron in the world.

Kozani saffron has a guaranteed colouring strength of 230, on the saffron grading scale which ranges from 80 to 250.
