Rediscovering a passion for the resources of our land
About Us
Zafaran, the red heart of Nepi, was born from the idea of a group of friends, all lovers of agriculture, to bring an ambitious project to life! To rediscover a passion for the resources of our land, for being together and sharing, but above all to showcase our beautiful homeland, Nepi, through this spice.
Together, we founded Zafaran.
The choice of name was inspired by a desire to rediscover the ancient origins of this prized spice, whose Italian name, zafferano, derives from the Arabic za’faran, meaning yellow, gold, light, illumination and revealed wisdom.
In August 2018, our first saffron plantation was established.
Our saffron is unique in that the soil in which it grows is rich, clayey and well-drained, and it is harvested in the early hours of the morning to preserve all its properties.
Furthermore, it is not treated with any chemicals; it is cultivated 100% naturally in the Nepi countryside.
