The cultivation, manufacturing, and sourcing process of saffron is a meticulous endeavor that begins with the careful planting of Crocus sativus bulbs in well-drained soil. These bulbs mature into saffron-producing plants, which require specific climatic conditions such as dry summers and mild winters. During the autumn months, the delicate saffron flowers bloom for a short period, and their vivid red stigmas, known as saffron threads, are handpicked early in the morning to preserve their quality. After harvesting, the saffron threads undergo a drying process to reduce moisture content and preserve flavor and aroma. Once dried, the threads are carefully packaged to protect them from moisture and light before being distributed to markets worldwide. Stringent quality control measures are implemented throughout the process to ensure that only the highest quality saffron reaches consumers, making it a prized spice known as "red gold."
