Product Overview

The finest saffron in the world comes from Iran. Saffron, like many cooking products, is graded and rated for quality, taste, color and aroma. Our supplier only imports sargol saffron directly from Iran and it is recognized as the best saffron on the market today.

The quality of this saffron is noted for it's intense, bright-red color of the stigmas with very little or no trace of yellow styles which many less expensive varieties tend to have. The hand-picked and properly dried saffron is very brittle to the touch, and has a strong fresh aroma with no musty odor.

Product Details

The color and strength of this saffron is consistently rated between 240 and 255, by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) which far surpasses the minimum grade of 190 and places it as one of the highest and best quality saffron's available.

How to Use:

A crop of 5,000 crocus flowers hand picked and processed yields one ounce of saffron threads making it the worlds' costliest spice. Fortunately, only a small amount is needed to add an intoxicating flavor to pastas, risotto's, seafood, stews, soups, paella, and a variety of other Mediterranean and Indian dishes.
