Zaffira Super Negin Saffron
- You pay for red threads only. No filler, no dye.
- Don't trust us. Read the lab report.
- Expensive per gram. Not per plate: a pinch turns a whole pot gold.
Fake saffron stains water at once. This one takes its time.
Watch the water test17 secOne gram of this is 150 to 200 crocus flowers, picked by hand.
Open the capsule and the smell gets there first: honey, hay, something floral.
From the high plateaus of Khorasan, Iran. Only the deepest red threads make the cut, and every batch has to pass a lab test before it reaches you.
Drop 15 threads into warm water. Wait.
At first, nothing.
Then the water starts turning gold. Slowly, as if it wanted you to watch.
The thread stays red. That's how real saffron behaves.
Pour that gold into your risotto, your paella, your tahdig.
The rice changes color. The kitchen changes smell.
And the dish becomes the one people ask about.
Every batch is tested to ISO 3632: crocin 260+, where Category I starts at 200. Send us your batch number and we'll send you its report.
Packed by hand in Zürich, with a card in every parcel.
Four sizes. The bigger the size, the lower the price per gram. The 5g comes in sealed boxes (2 × 2g + 1 × 1g, or 1 × 2g + 3 × 1g; tell us which in the order note), so you only open what you're using.
