Qutub Minar La Mancha Premium Spanish Saffron - 1 Gram
Best in the World: The saffron from the La Mancha region in Spain is considered to be the best in the world. La Mancha is a dry but a very fertile agricultural land in Spain, and the soil and the weather conditions make the saffron from La Mancha the best in the world.
Cultivation: The seeds are planted in the farms of La Mancha, and the harvesting is done by the local farmers who hand-pick the stigmas (saffron threads) from saffron flowers very early in the morning.
However, the harvest period is annual and brief, lasting only about two weeks. So the farmers as well as their family members have to be on their toes to pick all the flowers in time to preserve the saffrons' quality, aroma, and colour.
The stigmas are then toasted at different temperatures, using a very complicated process and a technique that is unique to the La Mancha region, and this special knowledge is passed from generation to generation.
