WHY CHOOSE SAFFRON IN THREADS?
Saffron threads are the ultimate guarantee of purity, authenticity, and quality. On our farms, each strand is lovingly grown and harvested using time-honoured techniques passed down through generations.
Harvesting begins at dawn, when the
saffron flowers are still closed, protecting the precious red stigmas within. This early morning collection minimises exposure to the elements, preserving their exceptional quality.
Once picked, each flower is hand-processed in a delicate operation that separates the vibrant red threads with precision.
To lock in its full spectrum of flavour, colour and aroma, the
saffron is dehydrated the same day it is harvested. This meticulous process, rooted in tradition and respect for the raw material, results in an extraordinary product that speaks of craftsmanship, passion, and excellence.
HOW TO INFUSE SAFFRON
To unlock the full aroma, flavour, and colour of our
organic saffron, proper infusion is essential. We recommend using about three threads per person, depending on your recipe:
- Choose your liquid: Infuse the saffron in hot water, milk, stock, or even wine—depending on the dish.
- Heat gently: Warm the liquid to about 60–70°C, without boiling.
- Add the threads: Let the saffron soak for at least a couple of hours to fully release its properties.
- Use the infusion: Add both the liquid and threads to your dish to experience its full culinary impact.
This technique ensures the
saffron’s unique essence fully infuses your dish, elevating its flavour, colour, and aroma.
WHERE OUR SAFFRON IS GROWN
Our
saffron is cultivated in Blancas, Teruel, nestled in the heart of the
Jiloca Valley within
Spain’s famed "cold triangle." At 1,100 metres above sea level, this extraordinary environment is defined by its extreme climate—with winter lows of –15°C and summer highs above 40°C.
This thermal contrast naturally enhances the saffron’s potency, concentrating its aromatic and colouring compounds. Combined with our traditional farming and harvesting methods, it results in a
saffron of unmatched purity, intensity, and character—truly a product of its remarkable origin.
A SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS PROJECT
At
Azafrán La Carrasca, our mission goes beyond producing
exceptional saffron. We are deeply committed to social responsibility and preserving cultural heritage. We've revived traditional
saffron farming in our region, maintaining every step of the artisanal process that has brought this spice worldwide prestige.
Our social impact extends beyond agriculture. During the harvest and processing seasons, we actively collaborate with organisations supporting people with disabilities and those in vulnerable situations. This inclusive approach not only creates job opportunities but also strengthens community bonds and promotes social integration.
For us,
saffron is more than just a spice—it is a symbol of culture, sustainability, and social commitment. Every thread carries the essence of our land and our people.
