Dave Pigou's Company Details
The Marlborough Saffron Room was started by Dave Pigou several years ago. Dave had grown Saffron in between the vines and wanted to add new dimensions to this amazing spice. There is a huge amount of labour intensive work to remove the stigma from the Saffron Flower and this apart from the spice itself is what makes this spice such an expensive item. Daves idea was to extract the oil from the stigma and produce a product that is easy to use, has a good shelf life and most importantly retains the flavour of "Saffron".The extraction of the Saffron Oil was achieved by Dave and his team of techncians and after much hard work and frustration the Marlborough Saffron Room produced several amazing products using dried Saffron Threads.(see our products page)The extraction of the oil is done using the following summary of processes - In the first step of production; we extract the dried saffron threads, using a super critical fluid extraction process. This produces a Saffron Oleoresin which we use in Saffron Infused Oil and extracted Saffron threads which is the main ingredient in Liquid Saffron extract.Dave and his team have many exciting innovative ideas in the pipeline and the investigations are underway at present so watch this space.Our website is presently under construction
