‘Negin’ loosely translates to precious stone or jewel. It is the rarest and most expensive saffron on the market due to its strength an quality. Negin saffron is longer and thicker than common saffron. It is pure and contains stigma without the style, making it ‘pure red’. Negin saffron has no style & pollen and just consists of red parts of stigma with a high strength of colouring and aroma.
When sourcing saffron, important measures are Picrocrocin (flavor), Crocin (color) and Safranal (aroma). This is done in the laboratory by ISO professionals, and the higher the number of these 3 factors means the higher the saffron quality. The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) is a global confederation of national standard giving bodies that set saffron classification based on the minimum prerequisites of every quality. This is referred to as ISO 3632. Our Negin saffron is fully certified with ISO 22000 and has a colour value over 260 (ISO 3632-2), proving it is ‘grade A’ Negin.
