Description
Saffron is known as “red gold” for the delicacy and effort its production requires. This invigorating red plant has been used for medicinal and culinary purposes for centuries.
Zaouiat Ahansal provides the ideal conditions to produce some of Morocco’s finest saffron threads, cultivated and hand-picked with care, from High Atlas community-owned lands, some of which belong to the cooperative’s women.
A pinch of saffron can turn your dishes golden and give them a pungent and biting flavour, making it a matchless spice that can work in both food flavouring and colouring.
The aromatic complexity of this sun-worshipping plant makes its scent unique and evocative of emotions and memories. As the local saying goes, “Whoever smells a jar of saffron never forgets it.”
