Kashmiri saffron is renowned for its rich flavor, potent aroma, and deep crimson color, attributed to the unique climate and soil conditions of the Kashmir Valley, making it one of the most sought-after and prized varieties worldwide.
We ensure the authenticity of our saffron through rigorous quality control measures, including sourcing directly from the Department of Agriculture (J&K), who adheres to strict standards of cultivation and processing.
Saffron is a versatile spice used in various culinary creations, including paella, risotto, biryani, desserts like saffron-infused ice cream or cakes, and beverages such as saffron-infused tea or cocktails.
To maintain freshness, store saffron in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and moisture. Avoid exposing it to air for extended periods and use it within one to two years for optimal flavor and potency.
Yes, we offer bulk purchasing options for customers looking to buy saffron in larger quantities. Please contact us for more information on bulk pricing and availability.
The best way to use saffron in cooking is to first steep it in warm liquid (water, broth, or milk) to release its flavor and color. You can then add the saffron-infused liquid to your dish or use saffron threads directly in recipes that call for them.
