P.O.D. 'Zafferano di Sardegna' D.O.P. brand From 2010, my saffron have the P.O.D. brand "Zafferano di Sardegna" (as you can see at this link). It is a further assurance about its origin (Sardinia) and its highest quality.
The "Zafferano di Sardegna" D.O.P., born in 2009 after long passages began in 2006, must respond to specific and strict rules of production, witch guarantee that I produce saffron through organic methods, so I don't use herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
The P.D.O. (protected designation of origin) brand is the most important U.E. brand that certifies the quality and origin of a food.
Slow Food Presidia Slow Food logo From 2007, my saffron can boast of being a "Slow Food®" product (as you can see at this link) and it is branded with the "Presidio Slow Food®" brand. For this reason, it respects a very rigorous specification that, in addition to ensuring the consumer about its origin (San Gavino Monreale - Sardinia), provides production methods. All of this is controlled by the technicians of the Slow Food association.
The "Zafferano di San Gavino Monreale" Presidia is represented by "Santu 'Engiu su Tzaffaranu" local no profit association that was born in 2002 and join many saffron producers.
