Saffron from Umbria – The Region’s Red Gold

Saffron is one of Italy’s most precious and ancient spices. Known as “red gold”, it stands out for its intense fragrance, vibrant hue, and incredible flavor.

Used since ancient times by the Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Romans, saffron was valued for its color, aroma, and healing properties. In the Middle Ages, cultivation flourished in Umbria, especially around Spoleto and Cascia, where the land and climate remain ideal today.

Among all regional varieties, saffron from Spoleto is the most prized—thanks to its high concentration of active compounds and traditional hand-harvesting methods.
Each flower is picked at dawn and gently dried to preserve its unmistakable essence—perfect for elevating risottos, meat dishes, desserts, and herbal infusions.
