Near Villa Ginori, just a few minutes’ walk away, there’s a small plot where organic saffron is cultivated.
During the flowering days, it’s a real feast for the eyes. You can observe the hand-harvesting process and then taste the product in various recipes prepared by the chef.
Additionally, you have the option to purchase saffron directly from the producer. Saffron is rich in vitamins and nutrients that stimulate the immune system and aid digestion. Since ancient times, it has been considered a spice with magical and supernatural properties, symbolizing enlightenment and revealed wisdom.
