Great Taste 2026 : 3 Star Award: Exquisite

Judges Comments:

A lovely dark saffron with a deep, earthy intensity both in the mouth and on the nose. The flavour is deep and long lasting, with a delicate floral taste left in the mouth. The quality and intensity of this incredible saffron moved one of the judging panel to tears. This is a very special product—liquid sunshine—just perfect.

This saffron has a wonderful buttercup colour and floral aroma. It has minimal yellow and white parts; the taste comes through in the water with only a few strands and the judges marvelled at how delicious it was, unable to fault it.

Excellent quality appearance with large threads and a deep, rich, dark colour and a woody, grassy aroma. The flavour gives an almost tea-like taste, with well-balanced bitter notes combined with natural floral flavour—showing all the characteristics of first-class saffron.

Further seasoning wisdom:

Herati Saffron is cultivated in the desert of western Afghanistan, where it has been growing for millennia. 

Saffron comes from beautiful white and purple crocus flowers. Each flower produces only 3 stamens, which are hand-picked and dried.  

This ingredient is fundamental to Mediterranean and South Asian cooking. Use this saffron to spice up  your rice dishes, marinades and tomato-based sauces with a warming, honeyed flavour.
