A. Feast - Saffron is a fabulous Spice

■ Omelettes, Pasta, Potatoes, Rice and Bread, adding the subtle but pervasive saffron aromas
■ White Meat in sauce, harmonizing flavors and adding umami
■ Vegetables such as cucurbits and green or dry beans, flavoring, harmonizing and enhancing flavors

Saffron will make your recipes more beautiful and more appetizing by enhancing pale tones, giving depth and intensity to dark colors, and by pleasantly enlightening all your dishes.
Saffron contributes to visual pleasure and enhances the desire to eat.

In plastic arts, Saffron can be used as a natural pigment in self-made paints.
As a dye, it will allow for instance coloring textiles as well as erasing white hair on a blonde head.

C. Healing & Beauty Care : Saffron is a Panacea

Saffron has long been known as a remedy before being considered in cooking.

Traditionally, saffron was used as a cure by the Mediterranean people as well as in Western Europe.
Saffron has been an ingredient in many potions to fight all sorts of ills and diseases, including the Black Plague during the great epidemics that devastated the West in the Middle Ages.

Today, the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries are very interested in Saffron's properties, while scientific research rediscovers and validates with its objective methods the empirical knowledge of the Ancients.

The medicinal properties of Saffron are numerous.
It can be safely used against pain, stress, depression, insomnia, and cholesterol.
Saffron also has strong properties : antiseptic, anti-cancer, digestive, etc.
It protects the heart, the arteries and the nervous tissues.
It regulates metabolism.
It improves the general well-being.

ATTENTION ! Pregnant women should not use it because it is an abortifacient.

Saffron also has undeniable cosmetic properties.
It is renowned in Orient for curing skin problems, and regularly used as a cosmetic, it will give a nice complexion and perfect skin texture.

For more information, read La Bible du Safranier

To enjoy the gastronomic, medicinal, dyeing and cosmetic properties of saffron, you must use (1) real saffron and (2) a high quality Saffron.
Given the extent of fraud and the frequency of poor quality Saffrons on the market, find your Saffron directly in a Saffron Farm.

3. Saffron First Grade : Superior Quality of Saffron SATIVOR® SUMMARY

Saffron SATIVOR® is made for Gastronomic, Medicinal, Cosmetic and Dyeing uses.

It contains only whole stigmas extracted from the flower of Crocus sativus. The stigmas are the Cream of Saffron, the most concentrated part with coloring and aromatic molecules. Because of its high purity, Saffron SATIVOR® has higher concentration of active compounds, giving it undisputable culinary, medicinal, cosmetic and tinctorial properties.

Quality Assessment

The superior quality of Saffron SATIVOR® is assessed every year after harvest.
Samples are sent to an independent laboratory.
These analyzes attest that Saffron SATIVOR® complies with the Highest Grade of ISO 3632 international standard (NEGIN A, SARGOL A, MONGRA).
This is why we can claim to provide you with one of the best Saffrons available in the market.

Remark : The analysis report is available to our Customers upon request

Saffron SATIVOR® & its competitors

The biochemical profile of Saffron SATIVOR® puts it far above the threshold for First Grade ISO 3632 (international) and ISIRI 259-2 (Iran), as well as national average of French, Moroccan and other producing countries' productions.
This possibly comes from our special Terroir, the Crocus sativus strains we selected for our farm, the care we give to our land, plant, and yield, and to our original and secret methods of production.

Saffron SATIVOR® has naturally :
■ a superior concentration in Picrocrocin = Greater taste power
■ a superior concentration in Crocins = Higher colouring power
■ a nice concentration in Safranal which increases with time = Very nice aromatic power
■ preserved aromatic compounds thanks to our original processes = Exceptional aromatic richness
■ a better dehydration than required by the administration = More saffron per gram & Increased longevity of spice qualities

■ More powerful Saffron = Using less Saffron
■ High Quality Saffron = Less is needed for the same effect
■ Best Dehydration = Less water & more saffron in 1g
■ Directly from the Farm = No risk to get poisonned with harmful additives found in fraudulent saffrons

Why we keep track of Production year with Saffron SATIVOR® ?

Saffron is like Wines for the Connaisseur, its qualities will vary from year to year.
But above all, the temporal traceability of saffron allows you to acquire a fresh product.
Furthermore, it tells you where the spice stands in its life cycle, therefore in its aromatic power.
Saffron SATIVOR® gives the best of itself within 4 years following harvest.

4. Saffron & Fraud : How to buy Saffron without being fooled ? SUMMARY

Did you know that twice the amount of yearly saffron harvest is sold each year in the world ?

Amazing ! Saffron has always been the most adulterated spice, which makes it difficult to buy quality saffron - or even real saffron !
The risk of fraud is further increased with imported saffron, with cheap and powdered saffron, and with saffrons purchased abroad in touristic areas.
Fraud on Red Gold has always been commonplace !

Fraud can occur :
■ by mixing (little saffron, much else)
■ by substitution (zero saffron)
■ or by poor quality (old saffron, moistened saffron, whole pistils of Crocus sativus, etc.)

Fraud may be gross (Figure 2) or much more sophisticated and hard to detect (Figure 3)...

Safflower is often sold as Saffron

Take care of your Health ! A fraudulent saffron will often contain :
■ Artificial colors
■ Ingredients you would not want to swallow (sand, brick, wood fibers, animal fibers, etc.)
■ Harmful chemicals (sulfates, glycerin, mineral oils, etc.)

You can cook for 50 persons with 1g of saffron SATIVOR®
This is only 0.7 € per serving : Using quality saffron is very cheap !
With the benefits of a real saffron on your health and wellbeing !

6. Learn More about Saffron with La Paradisière SUMMARY

Saffron is aphrodisiac Did you know ?

Saffron is first and foremost a remedy : TRUE | The Mediterranean People traditionally used Saffron as a remedy before using it as a spice, and Europeans have long used Saffron in officinal preparations targeting the whole spectrum of ailments they suffered. Saffron has a positive impact on mood (antidepressant, stimulant, euphoric), libido (aphrodisiac), sleep (calming, sedative), métabolism (antidiabetic, hypocholesterolemic), digestion (aperitif, digestive), heart (cardiotonic), etc. It also acts as a antiseptic antibacterial, Hypo-allergenic, anticancer, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
Saffron is an oriental spice : FALSE | It is a European spice whose history we have forgotten. The wild ancestor of Crocus sativus is endemic in Greece and Crete only. Crocus sativus does not originate from the East but from within Europe.
Fresh Saffron must mature : TRUE | Saffron is more aromatic 6 to 12 months after harvest. Like wines, Saffron must mature to bring the best of itself
Saffron can not be stored for long : FALSE | Protected from heat, moisture, light, and air, Saffron keeps all its properties 4 years at least
Saffron Made in France is a reference : TRUE | The French Saffrons are among the best in the world : exceptional quality, highly developed floral aromas, unique organoleptic profiles, extreme rarity. Speaking of the French production on a TV program (February 23, 2013), Chef Guy Martin said : French production is the Swiss watchmaking compared to the all-coming from Spain and Iran. These are two different products, which have nothing in common. Take advantage of the opportunity offered by La Paradisière to acquire and discover one of these productions
Saffron is expensive : FALSE | 1 gram of saffron spice will color and flavor 50 portions of paella (0.5 € per serving)
1g = not much : FALSE | 1g = A lot of work, time, and effort ! 200 to 250 flowers of Crocus sativus = 600 to 750 stigmata = 3 hours of work (planting, cultivating, harvesting, pruning, drying). Want to harvest your first gram of saffron ? Plant 100 to 200 Crocus sativus bulbs
