WHY CHOOSE SAFFRON IN THREADS?
Threaded
saffron is the ultimate assurance of purity and quality. Each strand is grown with care and harvested by hand on our farms using time-honoured techniques.
Harvesting begins at dawn, when the
saffron flower remains closed to protect its delicate stigmas. These are then separated manually in a meticulous process known as
desbrizne, and dehydrated on the same day to ensure maximum aroma, flavour and colour retention.
Thanks to this detailed and respectful process, we are able to offer a
saffron of exceptional quality—born from dedication, tradition, and passion
WHERE OUR SAFFRON IS GROWN
Our
saffron is cultivated in
Blancas, Teruel, in the heart of the
Jiloca Valley—within the renowned “cold triangle” of Spain. At an altitude of 1,100 metres above sea level, this unique setting is defined by extreme temperatures that play a key role in
enhancing saffron quality.
With winters reaching -15°C and summers soaring to 40°C, the plants undergo natural thermal stress, which intensifies the concentration of aromatic and colouring compounds in the
saffron threads.
These demanding conditions, paired with traditional farming and harvesting methods, result in
saffron of unrivalled purity, boasting outstanding aroma, flavour and colour.
OUR SOCIAL COMMITMENT
At
Azafrán La Carrasca, our commitment extends beyond producing exceptional
saffron. We actively preserve local traditions by reviving ancestral cultivation methods and maintaining every stage of the artisanal process that has given this spice its prestige over the centuries.
Moreover, during the harvesting and processing season, we collaborate with associations supporting people with disabilities and individuals in vulnerable situations—creating a more inclusive and sustainable project. This initiative promotes social inclusion and strengthens community ties between the land, tradition, and people.
For us,
saffron is more than a product—it is a symbol of cultural heritage, sustainability, and social responsibility.
HOW TO INFUSE SAFFRON
To unlock the full aroma, flavour and colour of our
organic saffron, it is essential to infuse it correctly. Use around three threads per person, depending on your recipe:
- Choose the right liquid: Water, milk, stock or even wine—select according to your dish.
- Heat the liquid: Warm it gently without boiling.
- Add the threads: Place the saffron in the hot liquid and let it steep for at least a couple of hours to fully release its properties.
- Add to your recipe: Once infused, incorporate the liquid to enrich your dish with saffron’s signature depth and brilliance.
This method ensures your
saffron reaches its full potential, enhancing any dish with its unmistakable essence.
