Saffron

Hand-picked, carefully dried and used for centuries, Quercy saffron is a rare and precious product. This “red gold”, grown in small quantities, reflects a demanding know-how deeply rooted in the land.

A few filaments are all it takes to release its subtle aromas, which range from floral to spicy. Saffron transforms the simplest dishes into refined recipes, and remains one of the discreet jewels of local gastronomy.

Quercy saffron reveals all its delicacy in creamy scrambled eggs, a drizzle of infused honey or a light cream. This red gold can also be subtly combined with white meat or warm cabécou, for an aromatic touch that’s both sweet and enchanting.

Used sparingly, it enhances both savoury and sweet dishes, adding colour, fragrance and refinement. Quercy saffron is a rare product, to be savoured as a culinary treasure.
