A pride for our family that we have always opted for the traditional method, nothing transgenic or inventing anything new, only giving very special care to the field, cleaning weeds continuously and by hand, not stepping on the furrows where there is saffron cultivation and being very careful when extracting the bulb; That is the way to achieve successful results and we will continue to do so.
Nowadays it is curious that quantities of bulbs are offered from countries that do not have saffron production, it is necessary to be very careful that they do not send other types of bulbs, this practice is usually seen in countries like Holland for example, once it is receives the package, if they do not know each other well, they are planted and the result is seen at the same time with the corresponding disappointment and without the possibility of a payment or change.
You also have to be very careful with the bulb that is extracted with vibrating machines since it is beaten and a large part of that onion will spoil, even after planting it, the jiloca crocus bulb is removed and cleaned by hand to ensure the better quality of saffron seed.
