Product details

This saffron from Kozani, Greece, is sourced by Daphnis and Chloe from a cluster of 25 villages in Western Macedonia, where the cultivation of Crocus sativus has been a local tradition for over 400 years. Protected under PDO status, Krokos Kozanis is harvested by hand every October, just as the delicate violet flowers bloom.

The saffron is slow-dried rather than toasted, a method that preserves its deep, earthy aroma and powerful color. Unlike producers in Iran or India, who often trim the yellow ends of the threads for visual uniformity, Greek saffron is left whole—a subtle but important sign of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Today, over 900 local families work together in a cooperative to produce this remarkable spice. Through their close relationships with these producers, Daphnis and Chloe ensure that every thread reflects the richness of Greek soil and the living heritage of the Kozani region.

Ingredients

100% dried red saffron stigmas (Krokos Kozanis PDO) from Greece.
