And it is all done by hand – just as it has been done for over 3500 years. The La Mancha region of Spain is famous for its high quality saffron that is used to give flavor, aroma, and color to many wonderful traditional dishes, including the increasingly popular Paella!

Mancha-Oro saffron is packaged in beautiful recycled glass jars and hand sealed with wax.
