Unblading

Filosofía
Unblading is a traditional manual process that has been maintained throughout the centuries and consists of separating the stigmas from the rest of the flower.

Our delicate and careful method consists in opening the flower and cutting the style just above the base of the three filaments without separating them, later eliminating the white part from the style. During this procedure we monitor that the stigmas are manipulated to the minimum and they appear free of floral remains for the dehydration, during the 12 hours following the harvest.
