L'Aquila Saffron (registered in the National Seed Register as Crocus Sativus L cv Piano di Navelli - L'Aquila) is a typical cultivar of the L'Aquila area and is agronomically and commercially distinct from what is produced in other areas of Italy as well as other countries around the world. For centuries L'Aquila Saffron has been sought after by the world's most demanding gourmets as it is the result of a combination of elements which together determine the excellent and inimitable quality. These elements are: the unique type of cultivation handed down from one generation to another only in this area, the territory and microclimate which are ideal for this type of crop and the hard work every year of the men and women who carry out each stage of the production with love and discipline, respecting tradition.

The characteristics of L'Aquila Saffron are the length of the stigmas, the high content of safranal, which gives it its special aroma, the strong colouring effect and the larger bulbs.

The Saffron strands are soaked in a little lukewarm water or broth before use in cooking traditional risotto or typical Abruzzo recipes: first courses with lamb or crayfish; mutton and poultry; in cakes or to enrich cheeses and dairy products.
