Saffron Fields of Taliouine

Purple crocus flowers in the saffron fields of Taliouine during the October harvest

Taliouine produces some of the world's finest saffron. The harvest happens in late October and early November — three weeks when the crocus fields turn purple and the town's economy runs on the dried stigmas of a single flower. The cooperative sells directly; the quality is verifiable and the price is honest.

The saffron harvest in late October is a journey we time precisely. Three weeks of purple crocus fields — and the cooperative sells the real thing at honest prices.
