Fontanarosa Saffron is 100% pure Italian saffron.
It is grown on the hills of the green Irpinia (South Italy), 600 meters above sea level, among the lush valleys of Frédane and Calore rivers. Here the climatic and environmental conditions have proved to be the most suitable for the cultivation of this precious spice.
From 2017 the company is in a state of biological conversion, to formalize its habit to a biologically pure agriculture.

Fontanarosa's Saffron has demonstrated, through specific laboratory tests, exceptional parameters of amaric power, odor, dye and humidity, which have classified it as 1st category saffron according to ISO 3632-2-2011.

Buying pure saffron pistils
(or stigmas) is high quality assurance, as saffron sold in powder form (in sachet) can easily be adulterated with extraneous elements (turmeric, safflower, marigold and other dyes).

Pure saffron in pistils is easy to use: you can leave whole pistils, previously softened in warm water for 40-60 minutes, or you can pulverize them youself with a pestle in a mortar.
