WHY WE CALL IT TRADITIONAL SAFFRON?
We call it
Traditional Saffron because its cultivation extends beyond our own land. We work closely with small-scale local producers in the
Jiloca area, particularly in
Blancas, who continue to grow
saffron using the same fully manual, artisanal methods passed down through the centuries.
Although these small plots of land are not officially certified as organic, we can guarantee the
saffron's outstanding quality. All our growers follow environmentally respectful practices, using no chemical products, which preserves the saffron’s natural aroma, flavour, and purity.
This model not only preserves centuries-old traditions but also strengthens the local economy, helping
saffron remain a symbol of excellence and cultural identity in our region.
WHY CHOOSE SAFFRON THREADS
Buying
saffron threads guarantees purity and authenticity – a 100% natural product with no additives or adulterations. Unlike ground
saffron, threads allow you to instantly verify their quality and preserve their aroma, flavour, and vibrant colour.
Saffron threads also stay fresh for longer and give you greater control over dosage, ensuring you get the most out of every strand in your cooking.
Choosing threads means choosing a premium product, carefully harvested and dried using artisanal methods that enhance its unique character.
HOW TO INFUSE SAFFRON
To unlock the full flavour, aroma, and colour of
saffron threads, it’s important to infuse them properly. Follow these simple steps:
- Heat a small amount of liquid – This can be water, stock, milk, or wine depending on your recipe. It should be warm but not boiling (around 60–70°C).
- Add the saffron and let it steep – Allow it to infuse for at least 10–15 minutes until the liquid turns a deep golden colour.
- Incorporate the infusion into your dish – Use this liquid in place of simply adding the threads, to bring out the full flavour and colour.
Tip: For a more intense result, prepare the infusion ahead of time and let it rest for several hours before use. That way, you’ll make the most of

WHERE OUR TRADITIONAL SAFFRON IS GROWN
Our
saffron is grown in
Blancas, Teruel, at 1,100 metres above sea level, in the heart of the
Jiloca Valley – a region where nature and tradition combine to produce something truly exceptional.
The area’s extreme climate, with temperatures ranging from -15°C in winter to over 40°C in summer, creates natural thermal stress that encourages a higher concentration of aromatic and colour-rich compounds in the saffron. This results in more intense flavour, aroma, and colour.
Every strand reflects the demands of this environment, combined with careful, sustainable cultivation, ensuring a saffron of the highest purity and quality – worthy of its international reputation.
