But it is in Iran that the cultivation of \"red gold\" began, several thousand years ago. Delicate, saffron cultivation requires meticulous expertise. The harvesting is painstaking, concentrated over a particularly short period of time (the crocus blooms for only around twenty days a year). The flower does not keep for long (48 hours at most). The saffron flower, which cannot be kept for more than 48 hours, has 6 purple petals, three golden-yellow stamens and a red pistil. It is this famous pistil, composed of three \u003cstrong\u003estigmas\u003c\/strong\u003e (filaments), that, once dried, gives saffron as it is used as a spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pistils of the crocus sativus are collected one by one and then \"shelled\", separated and sorted with extreme skill.

Each producer places one gram of saffron in their own vat of milk. The quality of each person's saffron is defined according to the colouring and flavouring of the liquid, which is then used to make \"bastanie\" ice cream.
