Original Natural Kashmiri Saffron

$3,988.00

  1. Color: True Kashmiri saffron has a rich, deep red color with a slight orange hue. The threads are typically long and thin, with a vivid crimson tone.
  2. Flavor: It offers a subtle, yet distinct flavor that is both floral and earthy. The taste is delicate and can transform both sweet and savory dishes.
  3. Aroma: The aroma is highly fragrant, with a complex bouquet that includes hints of honey, hay, and a faint earthiness. This makes it a sought-after ingredient in gourmet cuisine.
  4. Quality: High-quality Kashmiri saffron has a high crocin content, which is responsible for its deep red color and health benefits. The best saffron threads are dry, brittle, and have a strong aroma.
  5. Harvesting: The saffron is hand-harvested, which is labor-intensive. Each flower yields only three red stigmas, and the harvesting process must be done at dawn to ensure the delicate threads are collected at their peak.
  6. Cultivation: The saffron crocus is grown in the high-altitude regions of Kashmir, where the climate and soil conditions are ideal for its cultivation. The region’s cold winters and sunny autumns contribute to the development of saffron’s unique qualities.
