A lilac-toned flower among the most prized and processed. Hours and hours of harvesting and care, to give birth to one of the most delicious and sought-after spices in Italian and world cuisine: saffron. Sicily also boasts the cultivation of this splendid flower. Boniviri saffron is born right there, at the foot of the Etna volcano, thanks to the care and harvesting all done strictly by hand, respecting the territory and nature. Once the flowers are collected, the stigmas are delicately detached and must then be dried. It is at this point that saffron pistils are born.
