SUPER NEGIN SAFFRON
QUALITY OF OUR SAFFRON
We take pride in supplying our Super Negin saffron to our buyers worldwide. We hold that pride in the quality that we provide. Super Negin is a rare type of Saffron that requires delicate care and attention to grow and harvest, much like Wagyu A5 Beef.
Saffron threads are found in a variety of different cuts or trims. Saffron threads which contain less yellow, orange and white parts are generally considered to be of higher quality. This is due to the fact that the yellow, white and orange parts are considered to be excess weight which takes up space but has no real value as only the red part of the saffron thread is useful.
However, it is possible that certain suppliers might dye the stigma to cover up the non red parts. This is not only an unscrupulous practice but it is also dangerous for the unknowing consumer. Our saffron comes directly from the farm and we have full control over the production process which helps ensure that no such practices take place. We strictly forbid any tempering with our saffron threads to protect our reputation as a premium farm and supplier.
In 2016, our saffron won an award from the Iranian Ministry of Agriculture for the best saffron in the Khorasan region. We have also received certificates of appreciation from the Ministry of Agriculture for our efforts in growing top quality saffron over the years. These awards provide us with the justification to call ourselves premium suppliers of saffron in the world.
Understanding SAFFRON TYPES
Saffron is normally classified into 3 main categories which are Poshal, Negin and Sargol. Refer to the diagram below for an illustration of the different types of saffron threads.
Saffron which is harvested from the farm is classified into each category depending on the appearance of the stigma, how it was harvested and how well it was processed. Sargol and Super Negin are the most expensive types of Saffron threads. They are all red and contain no yellow or white parts. They are rich in flavor and aroma and ensure that there is no excess weight wasted in every gram that we pack for you.
We focus primarily on Super Negin saffron which is the rarest trim of saffron. Super Negin saffron is known not only for being the most potent but also for its aesthetically pleasing features. Super Negin threads are longer in length and contain no yellow or orange threads at all as compared to the normal Negin threads. We can supply Poshal and Negin Saffron as well.
Simply put, Super Negin is what the farmer himself uses to make his saffron tea and cook his saffron rice. Only the best strands sorted and collected from hundreds or thousands of kilograms of saffron which qualify to be called Super Negin are sorted and packed at our processing centre before being sold to our customers.
