Vézère Saffron

Saffron de la Vézère, based in Estivaux, grows a rare and precious spice. This spice is nicknamed "red gold" because of its rarity and high cost. Saffron production begins with the planting of Crocus sativus bulbs. Every October, these bulbs produce small purple flowers.

Farmers pick the flowers carefully to preserve the pistil. This pistil is the part used for the spice. The pistils are then extracted by hand and dried. This process reduces their moisture content by 80%, transforming the filaments into precious saffron.

Finally, Le Safran de la Vézère offers a wide range of products. These include SafraSel, extra jams, jellies, herbal teas and mustards. There are also deep red pistils and syrups.
