Safrron Krokos Kozanis(greek saffron) is distinguished for its excellent quality which places it in the top quality of organic saffron in the world.
Saffron, the GOLD OF GREEK EARTH as it is called, was among the most popular and valuable spices of ancient civilizations, for its flavor, color, pharmaceutical and aphrodisiac properties.
Cleopatra used it in her cosmetics, ancient Phoenicians in their offers to Goddess Astarte, Homer mentioned it in his writings, while we still find it in The Old Testament.
The residents of the area plant saffron every summer and when Autumn arrives remove by hand the precious spots of the beautiful flower and they carefully drain them so that they make the deep red delicate yarns.
Nearly 50.000 spots are needed in order to produce 100gr of red saffron.
A small quantity of saffron adds an exquisite flavour, colour and aroma in all your dishes such as pasta,rice,soups,sauces,poultry,meat,fish.
