Zaran Saffron, Superior Saffron Threads (Premium) All-Red Saffron Spice for your Paella, Risotto, Persian Tea, Persian Rice, and Golden Milk) (Persian (Sargol), 10 Grams)

WOV, this is one of the best saffrons that I have purchased in the last 10 years. No joke, I buy about an ounce of saffron every year (a good portion of which goes as a gift for family and friends). I bought saffron online from a variety of sources and merchants including Kashmiri saffron from India. While quality Kashmiri and Afghani saffrons are as good, it's hard to find quality product at a reasonable price. For the last 7-8 years, I have been buying saffron mainly from Costco online and they do have one of the best saffrons out there. When you buy from Costco, every packet comes with a lab report (done in NYC). The batch I bought this April read the color score of 262 and not many can top that! Zaran saffron looks like its up there with 250+ score. The fragrance of this saffron is more potent than the Spanish saffron that Costco has. I weighed the contents on a research lab analytical balance and it came down to 10.095 grams. If these guys maintain the quality and pricing, they found a customer for life! Costco has their 14 gram jar for 80 bucks and put it on sale few times a year for 60 to 65 dollars. I paid $65 for 14 grams in April when it was on sale. They however, sell only costco size package of 14 grams (and rarely 5 gram package) and that's about it. Thank you guys at Zaran!

I have had a lot of Saffron over the years. When my ex inlaws would go to Iran, they would bring me the powdered saffron directly from the home country. I have never found saffron purchased in the US that came close to the "real thing". However, the Saffron was the BEST I've ever had. The Saffron was in much smaller pieces than I've purchased locally, so pressing it into small workable pieces was very easy and I didn't have to use much of the Saffron. I made Tachine, a Persian Dish, and my family said it was the best they've ever had . The packaging was outstanding and true to the Persian Culture....it was first rate. I will be reordering another batch soon.

quality saffron, I put it on everything from meats to vegetables to eggs and rice. great smell and excellent flavor and color.

I wish I took a picture of Saffron from local grocery stores in comparison to this one before we used it in our paella. This product is superb quality for a fraction of the price. Deep color, just the small best quality tips, no yellow stems. I will be buying again. Packaging is beautiful. Thank you!

This is my first time purchasing Saffron online. The product arrived on the date expected. It has great flavor and aroma. I would definitely recommend purchasing Zaran Saffron. You will not be disappointed.

If you cant make it to the Atlas mountains, this will do! Wonderful flavor, and a thoughtful, beautiful packaging makes it a joy to use. Great quality for a good value. Thank you.

Great product , used it for my rice it came golden color .

This is the best Zafaran to have, mine got lost and they sent me a nice size sample, believe me, if you know about Zafaran, this is it. color and smell is perfect.
