In addition to saffron, which they grow and package themselves, they also have hunting meat and pâtés, wines and oils from the region, as well as other products derived from saffron (honey, cream cheese, cheese).

In addition to this market of flavours, a small tasting of those same products that they offer, perfect pretext to address an explanation supported by a careful video on the curiosities and secrets kept by this spectacular and beautiful flower.
