The challenge is to help you rediscover saffron, this unique spice that has become known poetically as “red gold,” the essential ingredient. The saffron we offer you is unique in the sense that we grow it ourselves, carefully, in Kosovo, where we enjoy the best climatic conditions. There, we use ancestral techniques, handling the saffron flower carefully, enabling us to obtain a spice of unquestionable quality. SAFFRON IN KOSOVO Whenever we mention saffron, we immediately think of Iran, Kashmir, Spain or Greece, but we never even thinkabout Kosovo. In His book “Kosova - a short history of a central Balkan country” author Oliver Jens Schmitt, states that saffron was grown in Kosovo since the XV century. American writer Noel Malcolm in his book “Kosovo a shorthistory” points out that Kosovo’s economic resources in the XV century were silk, silver and saffron.Sample analyses of the saffron produced in Kosovo showed that saffron is of first class quality.
