WHEN TASTE IS KEY
Our premium saffron extracts are based on genuine selected raw saffron of the highest quality Sargol*. The crocus flowers and their pistils are carefully picked by hand. We have chosen to use the delicate part of the pistil called ”Negin”, which provides an even higher quality of saffron, with whole saffron straws that are visible in the final application.

LOOKING FOR SAFFRON TO TAKE YOUR PRODUCTS TO THE SKIES?
Did you know that it takes more than 70,000 flowers to make just 0,5 kg of saffron? Being the most expensive spice in the world, saffron adds more than just flavour to a dish. It adds a luxurious, exotic and premium feeling and it takes only a small amount to achieve a complex flavour and eye-catching colour.
Boost retail food formulations with a saffron infusion
The red gold creates many ideas for applications. Within the retail segment, saffron can certainly give a new taste profile and appearance to dishes in soups, frozen meals, sauces, dips, and dressings. Saffron pairs exceptionally well with chicken, fish, and seafood. Also beef and lamb are a great combination with the subtle exotic aroma and the bright yellow colour.
And of course, saffron is also ideal to use to spice up cakes, cookies, puddings and ice creams. Even saffron-infused beverages, which are a relatively unexplored area, open up to creativity. The possibilities are endless, so just let us help you take your ideas to new heights!
