Saffron and Cervia Salt Biscuits

Biscuits born from an exclusive combination that we bet you have never tasted before: saffron petals and Cervia sea salt. The saffron comes from the high valleys of the Bolognese mountains, in the Emilian Apennines, between the municipalities of Monghidoro and Loiano, while the salt is the finest and tastiest in Italy: Cervia sea salt. The sweet-salty contrast created by the maple syrup and Cervia salt further enhances the flavour of the petals, making these artisan biscuits truly unique.

All the processing and production phases of this precious spice are carried out strictly by hand, using traditional and natural methods, without the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides. The flowers are picked by hand early in the morning before dawn, because the flower must still be closed, then the sfioratura (extraction of the stigmas from the flower) and drying at low temperatures takes place. All these operations are carried out on the same day in order not to lose but to enhance all the precious characteristics of saffron.

Saffron is rich in minerals, especially potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, while the most abundant vitamins are vitamin C and folate. But what characterises this spice and gives it its therapeutic properties is safranal, a substance present in the flower pistils and to which saffron owes its typical fragrance. Saffron's colour, on the other hand, is due to crocin and crocetin, two carotenoids that also act as antioxidants. Saffron is, therefore, excellent for the nervous system and brain, for protecting and strengthening the eyes and for soothing the effects of pre-menstrual syndrome. It is perfect as a mood tonic and is an aphrodisiac food par excellence.

Excellent biscuits for all tastes, thanks to their not-too-sweet taste, they make even non-sweet lovers go crazy. Perfect for breakfast or for a morning or afternoon break. Also very tasty at the end of a meal in the company of coffee. Thanks to their healthy and genuine ingredients, you can enjoy them as often as you like.
