Who we are
About the farm
We farm in Villafranca di Forlì, in the heart of Romagna: on the Montaletti family's small farm we grow saffron on about 300 m², lifting the corms every year and replanting them elsewhere in rotation. From mid-October to mid-November we pick the flowers by hand at dawn, clean them by hand the same day and dry the stigmas at no more than 45 °C; in 2022 we made about 150 g of saffron from some 22,000 flowers, rated first category in laboratory analysis. We offer our saffron threads in 0.5, 1 and 2 g jars, also in gift boxes; orders are taken by e-mail or WhatsApp and sent by post.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
