Our Process
Our Process

The journey from earth to your kitchen.

Every step is a commitment to quality. Our process is a blend of ancient tradition and modern science, ensuring every thread is perfect.

1

Hand-picked at Dawn

Saffron crocus flowers are delicate and must be harvested by hand in the early morning to protect their fragile threads from the sun.

2

Careful Separation

The crimson stigmas are meticulously separated from the rest of the flower, a process that requires skill and patience.

3

Sun-Dried to Perfection

Threads are dried naturally to lock in their vibrant color and complex aroma, ensuring they remain potent and pure.

4

Sealed for Freshness

The final product is carefully sealed in airtight packaging, protecting it from moisture and light to preserve its integrity for years to come.
