Our Saffron

About Our Saffron

Saffron is a spice derived from the bright red stigmas of the Crocus Sativus flower. Acclaimed for its complex flavor, saffron has long been a sought after delicacy.

Here at Saffron Merchants Company, we work exclusively with the highest quality saffron. Our growers combine the best of traditional old world harvesting method with the newest scientific technologies. From sewing bulbs by hand before sunrise and hand-picking flowers one by one at their peak, their meticulous methods serve to bring our consumers the highest quality saffron in the market. 

Why Persian Saffron?

Native to the Mediterranean area, Saffron thrives in extreme climate. Besides the required flat land and lack of trees, saffron needs summers to be very hot and dry, and winters to be cold. With these preferred growing conditions, Ghaen makes the perfect home to saffron fields, producing up to 95% of the world’s saffron.
