Saffron from the Vézère

Saffron from the Vézère, based in Estivaux, cultivates a rare and precious spice. This spice is nicknamed "red gold" due to its rarity and high cost. Saffron production begins with the planting of Crocus sativus bulbs. Each year in 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. Then, the pistils are extracted by hand and then dried. This process reduces their humidity by 80%, transforming the filaments into precious saffron.

Finally, Le Safran de la Vézère offers a varied range of products. It includes SafraSel, extra jams, jellies, herbal teas and mustards. There are also intense red pistils and syrups.
