Auberge Kasbah Amoun - Le Safran de Taliouine
In the highlands above Taliouine, at first light, women from all the surrounding regions take the path leading to the fields of saffron, the most expensive and coveted spice in the world. Capricious, these Saffron florets which hatch during the night require that they be picked up quickly in baskets made of reed stems, before the sun's rays damage them, very fragile, their picking is done only at the hand.
Taliouine Saffron remains at the top worldwide for its high concentration of safranal with a phenylethanol content which gives it a light and sweet floral touch.
Every year, the producers organize their Saffron festival, a real moment of conviviality with the inhabitants and their folk songs and dances to the rhythms of Ahouach and Gnaoua without forgetting the regional culinary art and the tastings of saffron dishes prepared by the village women!
