Saffron (Crocus sativus) is the spice that, to date, has received and continues to receive the interest of researchers.
Its composition is studied and documented in order to safeguard its genuineness through the control of its natural content of carotenoids (antioxidant crocins), picrocrocin (bittering note) and safranal (principle that characterizes its aroma).
The natural balance and harmony of its components is responsible for the classic sensory impact that allows saffron to be defined as “the spice of good cheer”
