Le safran des Mellets

In the heart of Aubagne, Sud & Safran embodies local, sustainable agriculture. Saffron cultivation requires no irrigation, relying solely on the natural qualities of a Provencal soil that has been preserved for decades.
Herbicide- and pesticide-free, weeding is carried out exclusively by hand or mechanically. A sober approach that protects the region's biodiversity and water resources.
When you visit the saffron farm, you'll discover an ultra-short circuit: saffron is produced, harvested and sold on site, cutting out all intermediaries and reducing the carbon footprint to a minimum.
When you come here, you're supporting a vibrant local economy, a family tradition of craftsmanship, and an agriculture that takes care of Provence.
