Saffron has just started flowering here in Tassie and for the next month Tas-Saff’s combined growers will produce about 10kg for the year. It is a very slow process, not only picking by hand and the drying process of this delicate product, but the weather conditions leading up to harvest play a huge role in how well the season will go. This flavoursome product fetches up to $35,000kg in this country.
