saffron, even medicinal ones, remain intact;

We have made unused land "useful" for several years in the heart of
the Taburno Valley and precisely in the municipality of Frasso Telesino.
Frasso is located on the western side of the Taburno-Camposauro, between the
rocky peaks of Monte Sant'Angelo and the peaks of Monte Cardito and Serra
del Ceraso, where the Prata valley opens.
It is the seat of the mountain community of Taburno.
Its municipal territory
is between 65 meters
and 1220 meters with an
altitude range of
1155 meters.
Maddalena Saffron blooms at a
height of about 370 meters above sea level.
