Quality is the first priority for us. We make sure that each lot purchased from our suppliers is of the topmost quality and without any compromises. However, a trial would speak more than any number of words.

Comparison of our Quality to other brands

	Sapphire™ Kashmiri Saffron (Kesar)	OTHER Saffron (Kesar) QUALITY
Threads	Extra-long and thick threads that expand even further on soaking / steeping	Are often smaller, thinner and broken that do not expand as much during soaking
Aroma	Very Intense Saffron (Kesar) nose with high floral top notes	Lacking in intensity and with little to no floral top notes
Flavour	Only a fraction of the threads are required to create the desired flavour profiles	More threads are required to create the same degree of flavour but can also result in off notes
Colour	Deep red in colour with NO yellow content – signifying very high colouring power	Ranges from dark reddish brown to orange / yellow – indicating the use of floral wastage-low colouring power
Packaging	Sapphire™ Kashmiri Saffron (Kesar) threads are protected from moisture and air by sealing in a unique foil pack and high quality hinged box	Lower Quality packaging allows air and moisture to penetrate the threads, resulting in a lack of freshness and further deterioration of quality
