In Acqua di Parma's Zafferano, the warm and dry notes of saffron are distilled and combined with luminous notes of Italian golden fruits, like gilded sparks dancing with the intense spicy notes to create an unexpected and vibrant sensation. Italianity meets the ingredient’s origin land, the Middle East in Venice, the historical European gateway along the ancient spice route that represents a metaphorical intersection between East and West, embodying charm and mystery, richness, and dissimulation. The essence of an intimate, never ostentatious luxury that can only be fully appreciated and understood by those who know their history.
