For the past 5 years, the husband-and-wife team of Jaume Casado Carulla and Magda Plazas Figueroa have been producing coupe-grade saffron – AKA, the very best quality – from their Masia farmhouse in the Pyrenean foothills.It’s not surprising to learn that saffron is the world’s most highly prized spice when you see what goes into it when it’s produced properly, the way it is at Safrà del Montsec. We have been in the saffron business for 3 generations and we do it all from growing saffron, harvesting, lab testing, importing, exporting to get our pure saffron around the globe. Thanks to its high concentration of active ingredients, our saffron is able to give dishes a unique and intense flavor, enriching them with aromatic and taste notes that will not go unnoticed. These saffron stigmas come directly from Spain, which is well known for being one of the best quality saffron in the world.

Together with his wife, Magda Plazas Figueroa, Jaume has been farming saffron crocuses for the past 5 years, since the couple bought an old stone masia (farmhouse) and relocated from Barcelona to revive the ancient craft of saffron making, which has been pursued in this part of Catalonia since the Middle Ages.It’s 6 o’clock on an October morning, the mist hangs low over the valleys of the Montsec hills, and there’s a nip of autumn in the air. Use this saffron to spice up your rice dishes, marinades and tomato-based sauces with a warming, honeyed flavour. Arabic cooking was very rich in herbaceous flavourings and saffron was one of the most important spices, used as colouring and seasoning in most of their recipes.
