Grade 1 Sargol Saffron (1g)

We stock Grade 1 Sargol saffron stamen (the highest grade available) in 1g boxes – our saffron is of exceptional quality and characterised by large and long deep red strands with very very  intense flavour and aroma- we are genuinely convinced there is not a better quality saffron available in the UK.

Sargol saffron is the highest grade/ quality of saffron available and is made up of the top part of the red stigmas from the crocus flower, which have been professionally cut and separated from the crocus flower prior to drying. The stigma from the top part of the flower are deep red in colour and have the most intense flavour in cooking.

As a general rule when buying saffron, good quality saffron is red, not yellow in colour (avoid saffron with yellow strands in it) and also price is a rough guide – good quality saffron is not cheap.

Our saffron is characterized by it’s intense deep red colour – just a pinch will add great flavour to your recipes such as saffron risotto, saffron cakes, pilau rice … or even saffron pasta!
