The gourm.itpedia word of the week is:
Saffron
/ẓaf-fe-rà-no/
A herbaceous plant with purple funnel-shaped flowers whose pistils, dried and reduced to a yellow powder, provide a drug used in medicine and especially in cooking.
Gaetano Caruso, owner of the Caseificio Centroform, knows saffron very well. This precious and ancient ingredient is produced directly by the cheese factory and used in the production of Piacentinu Ennese Dop.
Gourm.itpedia is a project for the dissemination of Italian gastronomic knowledge by gourm.it, a consortium of Italian producers.
