Gifted by ideal ecological conditions, Greeks have been producing saffron for centuries, so there is no doubt that Greek saffron farmers have a vast knowledge in cultivation of saffron, which is highly correlated with producing good quality saffron. Archeological discoveries show that in 1500 BC, saffron was used as a medicine on the Aegean islands in ancient Greece. This information brings out two facts: first is that saffron is one of the oldest herbs to be used as a medicine, and second is that the Greeks were actively using it at that time. This proves that they have been working with saffron for at least 3500 years.

Fast forwarding to the 21st century today, Greeks are producing saffron better than ever. In 1971, the Cooperative of Saffron Producers of Kozani, called THE COOPERATIVE DE SAFRAN, came into existence and was granted the exclusive right to gather, package and distribute Greek saffron by the Greek Government.
