The farm Azienda Agricola Corda Paolo was founded in the beautiful hills of Monferrato Astigiano, thanks to the determination to bring back to Piedmont the traditional saffron spice.

The cultivation method we use is not organic or even biodynamic, we’d call it more a “good sense method”. The cultivation method we use is not organic or even biodynamic, we’d call it more a “good sense method.” Our company does not use any chemicals or herbicides, but it creates the best environments and living conditions for each type of plant. No preventive treatments are given, but only if necessary we use treatments allowed in organic farming. This choice was made to respect nature which in a “natural” way already gives us so many things to protect or improve our crops.

For saffron, for example, each year we prepare a plot of land cultivated with green manure, which means growing some herbaceous varieties that are cut and left to compost in the earth. In this way the land will be nurtured and fertilized in a healthy way and our saffron will find a lot of substance with which to grow.

All this care definitely makes ours a limited and non-intensive production, but it is a choice for quality that the end consumer understands perfectly without question.
