Description

In recent years, our passion for saffron has grown ever greater – a plant mentioned in ancient texts and once held a special significance in Austria. Between the 15th and 19th centuries, the "Crocus Austriacus" was even known as the best saffron in Europe. In 2019, Leonhard Mayrhofer dared to make a fresh start on the family farm in Leogang: first in a small field, later on 300 m². Four generations pitched in for the first harvest – a moment we celebrated with pride. With our own logo, elegant packaging, and regional sales, the success quickly became noticeable. Since then, our project has grown continuously. New fields have been added, and top chefs such as Andreas Herbst, Stefan Birnbacher, and Vitus Winkler are enthusiastic about "Saffron from Leogang." Our story found its way into regional and national media – and with the first saffron sales, we were even able to organize an unforgettable family Christmas celebration.
