Tired of pale, musty “saffron” that does nothing?

  • Low-grade or adulterated saffron fades fast and leaves dishes dull.

  • Mixed yellow styles and crumbs lower potency and waste your money.

  • Unknown origin = unknown freshness, flavour, and food safety.

Vivid Golden Colour

High crocin levels deliver an unmistakable, natural golden hue in paella, biryani, risotto and desserts.

Bold Aroma & Flavour

Intense safranal and picrocrocin for that warm, honey-hay aroma and gently bittersweet depth cooks demand.

Proven Authenticity

Deep red stigmas only (no yellow styles). Batch-coded and lab-checked for purity and quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much saffron should I use?

For 4 servings, a generous pinch (about 8–12 threads). Bloom in warm water, stock, or milk for 10–15 minutes, then add the liquid and threads.

What makes your saffron different?

Deep red stigmas only (no yellow styles), ISO-graded, batch-coded, and lab-verified. Sourced from high-altitude farms and packed light-safe for freshness.

How do I store saffron?

Keep sealed in its tin, away from light and heat. Best within 18–24 months, but we rotate inventory frequently to ship the freshest harvests.

Is it really authentic?

Yes. Every batch is tested for purity markers (crocin, picrocrocin, safranal) and visual identity. Counterfeits often include dyed corn silk or mixed yellow styles — ours do not.

When will my order arrive?

Orders placed by 2pm ship within 24 hours from London. Standard UK shipping is free; faster options are available at checkout.

Where can I buy saffron in the UK?

You can order authentic, ISO-graded saffron directly from our London base. Free UK delivery within 24 hours of purchase.
