Manufacturing Process:
1- FLOWER HARVESTING
********************************
Crocus bloom occurs in the first half of November.
In this brief interval are collected daily, with the first light of day, thousands of flowers of extraordinary beauty.
Harvests are by necessity a speedy affair: after blossoming at dawn, flowers quickly wilt as the day passes.
This work is very difficult and entirely manually, because there is still no farm machinery capable of such a delicate task without damaging the flowers where the queen of spices hides.
Cut flowers should be protected from the sun, rain and wind so the next phase: the peel.

2- PEELING
**************
Cut flowers in the morning must be treated the same afternoon. Is called peeling operation to extract the three stigmas (the three red strands) that each flower has.
The stigmas should not break if a visually attractive product is intended.
This task requires patience, and is traditionally reserved for women, since their hands are often more skilled than those of men.

3- TOAST
************
The process of toasting the stigmas of saffron is crucial in preserving and final quality of the spice. Something similar happens with coffee.
On the toasted considerably lowers moisture stigmas. And, of course, also its weight is lowered.
The toasted by expert hands, will determine the final levels of color, aroma and flavor of the spice.
