Intro
The museum shows the saffron culture from the hard work in the fields to the culinary specialty.
A museum within a museum. The Zehndenstadel, built in 1437, is one of the oldest wooden buildings in Switzerland. The museum shows the saffron culture from the hard work in the fields to the culinary specialty. Visitors can learn more about the cultivation and harvesting of saffron and the equipment used for this.
Uniqueness of the Mund saffron culture
Mund is the only place in Switzerland where the precious spice saffron is still cultivated today, following centuries of tradition. The precious "Crocus sativus" grows on an area of around 18,000 square meters on the beautiful and sunny high plateau. Behind every single saffron flower is a lot of patience and hard work.
Interesting facts about saffron
Between 30 and 1,000 flowers are harvested every day during the season in October and November. The precious spice is extracted from the pistils of the flowers. Every year, the Munder saffron guild painstakingly produces between one and four kilos of saffron by hand. Now it's clear why everyone's all about the "red gold" from the mouth.
