About this item
Grown by Raqib Mushtaq on his family's 3.75 acre farm in the historic saffron district of Pampore, where they have been growing saffron for as far back as his grandparents can remember. Brought to the Valley by Persian traders in the 12th century AD, Kashmiri saffron's reputation as being the pinnacle of flavor and aroma precedes it. One whiff of Raqib's harvest and I knew it was all true!

Customer reviews
What customers say: Praised for its rich, authentic flavor and aroma, adding depth to biryani, paella, and desserts. Some wish for larger size options.
★☆☆☆☆
Hardly any flavor
I'm genuinely disappointed with this saffron. I tried it in both a risotto and a tea, using the same amount I would with my usual brand, but found the flavor to be extremely mild. It didn't add the distinctive musky or sweet notes I associate with quality saffron.

★★★★☆
Good for everyday use
This saffron is good, with a pleasant sweet and earthy profile. It works well in various recipes, though a slightly larger size would be more convenient for frequent cooks. Still, solid quality for the price.
