How Saffron is Made and the Wonders of Almas Collection

Saffron, often referred to as the 'Golden Spice', has graced culinary creations with its unique taste and color for thousands of years. It's a spice with a rich history, but "how saffron is made" might still be a mystery to many. Let's delve into the intricate process of saffron production and introduce you to the prestigious Almas Collection from Dorreen Saffron, a product that epitomizes premium saffron.

To understand "how saffron is made", we must first journey to the fields of Crocus Sativus flowers. Each flower blooms just once a year and yields only three saffron stigmas. These delicate red threads are hand-harvested at dawn, a labor-intensive process that contributes to saffron's status as the world's most expensive spice.

Once collected, the stigmas undergo a critical drying process, transforming them into the saffron threads we recognize. The threads are then meticulously sorted and graded based on their color, length, and aroma. The highest-grade saffron boasts a potent aroma, uniform length, and a deep red hue.

Now that we've answered "how saffron is made," let's explore a product that showcases the zenith of saffron excellence: Dorreen Saffron's Almas Collection.
