VERY PURE SAFFRON OF
L'AQUILA

Saffron is a plant that originally came from the Middle-East, and was brought to Italy by a Dominican Friar around 1300 AD. The cultivation of this plant spread rapidly in Abruzzo and other places in Italy. Owing to various reasons saffron cultivation gradually declined in the course of time and became a unique product of Navelli (near L'Aquila). This is the only place in Italy where the plant lives in perfect health even nowadays. The Saffron flower has a violet colour and produces the well known spice, used throughout the world in recipies of the finest cuisine. Saffron that is produced in Navelli is considered to be the best in the world owing to its superior qualities.
