Saffron | Afghanistan N° 41
Salem and Gernot’s journey began in Afghanistan, where they met an independent women’s collective that once cultivated opium. Today, these women harvest the finest saffron — on their own terms, free from criminal networks. Inspired by their work, we created a praline centered around this extraordinary saffron.
Saffron from Afghanistan captivates with its intense aroma, radiant color, and exceptional quality. Harvested by hand before sunrise through meticulous labor, it ranks among the finest in the world. Its flavor is warm, slightly sweet, earthy, and floral all at once—no other spice imparts such a vivid color to your dishes.
Saffron is obtained from the blossom of the violet crocus (Crocus sativus). Each flower yields only three delicate stigmas, which are carefully harvested and dried by hand. Its aroma is unique: a warm blend of vanilla, honey, and earthy spice, with a subtle, floral bitterness. Its fragrance evokes blooming meadows, and its taste is rich and multi-layered. Just a few threads are enough to turn dishes a deep, golden yellow.
Tanzania bean - yellow fruits, mango, south. The special aromas of this cocoa bean emphasize the bright, fruity notes of the praline filling. Fairly grown, traded, stored and finally processed into intense chocolate.
