Safran de Penne - Causses et Gorges de l'Aveyron

Penne saffron

Detailed description: Planting, weeding, harvesting, pruning, drying and packaging are all done by hand. The saffron pistil and its precious filaments must not be harmed. The price of this spice, known as the most expensive in the world, is easy to understand. Mme Soulier organises free tours of her saffron plantation during the flowering period in October, lasting an hour and a half, on the 3rd weekend in October (Saturday and Sunday) at 10.30am or by appointment. Group visits by appointment.
