Zafferano Leprotto is the flagship product of the Leprotto brand and one of Italy’s most recognizable saffron products. Introduced in 1963, it was created to offer consumers a convenient and reliable way to use saffron in everyday cooking while preserving the spice’s distinctive color, aroma, and flavor.

The product is traditionally sold in pre-measured sachets containing finely ground saffron, making it particularly practical for preparing classic Italian dishes. Over the decades, it has become closely associated with risotto alla milanese, one of the most iconic saffron-based recipes in Italian cuisine.

Known for its intense color and strong aromatic profile, Zafferano Leprotto is designed to distribute evenly throughout a dish, contributing both visual appeal and characteristic flavor. Its bright yellow packaging and hare mascot have remained largely unchanged for generations, helping to establish it as a familiar presence in Italian households.

Today, Zafferano Leprotto continues to represent a longstanding tradition of saffron use in Italian gastronomy while maintaining its reputation as one of the country’s most enduring saffron products.
