Dehydration

Deshidratación
Through dehydration, the stigmas reduce their initial weight to 20% and they become the spice. The way in which this process is carried out differs amongst different producers.

The most commonly used techniques are to leave the stigmas in the sun or place them near a source of heat emitted normally by electrical resistances or butane stoves.

With our process we want to rescue the tradition of yesteryear, where the heat produced by the embers of the kitchen or by the fireplace was used. We use exclusive woods to produce a controlled fire that allows enhancing the organoleptic characteristics of the saffron.
