Crocus Honey and Organic Saffron Pistils Factory13

Opificio13's Crocus Honey and Organic Saffron Pistils is a highly prized food product, made by combining organic Italian flower honey (99,9%) with pure organic saffron pistils (0,1%). The long infusion of the red Crocus sativus pistils in raw honey gives the product an elegant, deep golden color, tinged with ochre, and a complex aroma that intertwines the floral notes of the honey with the warm, slightly almondy, and earthy aromas of the saffron. The flavor is enveloping and persistent, with a bitter finish typical of superior-quality saffron. A small portion is enough to transform a simple dish into a memorable gastronomic experience.
 
 
 

The roots of this Crocus Honey and Saffron are deep in tradition

Saffron, extracted from the pistils of Crocus sativus, is known as "red gold" for its value and the incredible manual labor required for its production: approximately 150.000 flowers are needed to produce just one kilogram of the spice. Used in Egypt and Persia since the 2nd millennium BC as a medicinal remedy, dye, and precious condiment, saffron has spanned centuries of culinary history, arriving in Italy thanks to Venetian merchants and the Arabs. Honey and saffron have always been symbols of luxury, well-being, and longevity: in the Italian Renaissance courts and noble homes of the Middle East, they were combined in preparations reserved for the most important banquets. This recipe renews that ancient elegance with strictly organic ingredients.
 
 
 

Choosing Crocus Honey and Saffron means taking care of yourself

The combination of honey and saffron offers a rich portfolio of benefits: saffron is recognized for its antioxidant properties (thanks to crocin, crocetin, picrocrocin, and safranal), supports mood, memory, and vision, and is traditionally used as a tonic and digestive aid. Organic flower honey provides live enzymes, polyphenols, B vitamins, and flavonoids, as well as natural antibacterial properties. The combination creates a functional food with a sumptuous flavor, suitable for those who want to pamper themselves without sacrificing wellness. A teaspoon a day is a daily gesture of care, even simply dissolved in a cup of warm milk before bed.
