And people want that smell, believe me,” says Keen, adding that the scent, which has been compared to honey and sea air, is actually a product of the flavor’s breakdown. “You’ve got to find a balance between flavor and aroma, or people think it’s not saffron. It’s not really ready for about six months. So I won’t be selling this crop until June — assuming I have a good harvest.”
