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 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.
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)...

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
