Greek Saffron

Greek saffron, known as "Krokos Kozanis," is a high-grade variety of saffron cultivated in the Kozani region of northern Greece, an area with a longstanding tradition of saffron cultivation dating back to the Byzantine era. This saffron is famous for its vibrant red stigmas, which are carefully handpicked from the crocus sativus flower during the short autumn flowering season.

Greek saffron's scent profile is rich and complex. It features a distinctive earthy base that is imbued with notes of honey and hay, giving it a sweet yet rustic aroma. There are also subtle floral undertones that enhance its delightful fragrance, making it a sought-after ingredient in both culinary and aromatic applications. This unique combination of scents contributes to its reputation as one of the finest saffron varieties in the world, celebrated for adding both flavor and color to dishes.
