Saffron was an important crop in Tuscany, especially around San Gimignano, during the middles ages but by the beginning of the renaissance less expensive imports from the east had caused a major decline in saffron production in Tuscany. However, in recenet years, saffron has been rediscovered as a crop that thrives in the climate and soil of Tuscany, and here at Corte di Valle we harvest saffron from our own crocuses, and offer for sale both intact saffron threads as well as pasta, biscuits, honey and other local products flavoured with our own saffron. |
