I am a small saffron producer from Lozzolo in the province of Vercelli. My cultivation is located in lands dedicated to agricultural production for centuries, which unfortunately have been progressively abandoned in recent decades. My goal is to cultivate a healthy product that respects biodiversity, the territory, and that, in its small way, enhances the other typical productions of the area, starting with rice.

Cultivation
My saffron comes from fields cultivated without the use of synthetic chemical products, both for fertilization and weeding, carried out strictly by hand. The harvesting and sorting of the flowers take place manually in October/November, with immediate drying of the threads in a dedicated oven. Before the final packaging, the product is then "seasoned" for 2/4 months.

Quantities and Preparation
Polverizzare o frantumare gli stimmi (20/25 "fili" a persona); porli nel liquido di infusione (un cucchiaio di brodo, acqua o latte a porzione) tiepido per almeno un'ora. Per ottenere una maggiore estrazione prolungare fino a 4 ore. Se si ha tempo, lasciare in infusione per 24 ore in frigo, si otterrà un'estrazione delicata e completa che salvaguarderà tutti i complessi aromi del prodotto.
