Top gourmet Provence saffron box

The saffron comes from the crocus sativus bulb flower, very easy to cultivate, and perfect for the limestone soils of Provencal terroir. It’s an autumnal flower, parma color with a red pistil containing 3 stigmas. When these point outside the petals, saffron is ready to be picked. It’s then important to pick up the flowers quickly, as the pistil can be damaged in a few hours because the petals don’t protect it any more.
Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, and the only one to come from a flower. Since ancient times, the Romans and the people of Provence have cultivated saffron. It’s used in many French gastronomy preparations and many fish dishes of the Provencal cuisine.

This gourmet package is also a great gift idea for a fine cook: the person will undoubtedly appreciate this assortment of authentic local French food.
