Marisa cultivates Crocus Saltivus on her Land in San Lorenzo Nuovo, 500 meters above sea level.
\nSoil and plants are natural, without any chemicals and completely free of pesticides.
\nThus flower and saffron stay completely clean and pure.<\/p>\n
Cultivation and harvest can only be done with patience, love and sensitivity.
\nDuring the short flowering period, the harvest is done during the first few days early in the morning to avoid strong sunlight.<\/p>\n
The stigmas are carefully plucked from the blossom, removing the style in order not to comprise quality.
\nThe delicate drying of the threads creates the distinctive flavour of saffron.
\nAll this happens in Marisa’s small but perfect laboratory at San Lorenzo Nuovo.<\/p>\n
