Cultivated in the vibrant fields of Herat, Afghanistan, where ideal climate and rich soil contribute to its exceptional quality, our saffron embodies the essence of centuries-old traditions and a commitment to excellence. We source only top-tier saffron, often graded Super Negin or Sargol. The subtle natural color variation from thread to thread is a mark of authenticity, confirming it’s 100% pure. Meticulously handpicked from the delicate stigma of the Crocus sativus flower, each thread holds a world of flavor, fragrance, and vibrant hue. It has a complex flavor profile that combines hints of honey, earthiness, and a slight bitter-sweetness. This versatile spice enhances both savory and sweet dishes, from savory rice and aromatic stews to delectable desserts and indulgent beverages.

Where Our Spices Come From

We proudly source our saffron from a farmer-owned cooperative in Herat, Afghanistan that has cultivated and harvested saffron since 2007, helping bring pure Afghan saffron to international markets. These farmers tend each harvest by hand on their family land, reflecting the cooperative’s commitment to ethical sourcing, sustainable farming, and fair trade. By working directly with these farmers, we support livelihoods and local communities so every strand carries exceptional quality and a story of tradition and hope.

Flavor Profile

With its distinctive aroma and delicate floral notes, our saffron elevates dishes to new heights. It has a complex flavor profile that combines hints of honey, dried rosebud, and fresh hay with a slight bitter-sweetness.

How to Use

  • Crush saffron threads and bloom them in warm milk, water, or broth before adding to dishes. This releases the full depth of flavor and aroma!
  • Bloom saffron in an ice cube by placing a few threads into an ice cube tray and letting the ice melt over them.
  • Add a pinch of threads when making risotto, rice or paella to enhance its signature golden hue and rich aroma.
  • Fold into doughs, buttery bread, cake, or cookie for a subtle floral note and beautiful color.
