Saffron Kesar

Kashmir Saffron - Pure Aroma, Pure Luxury

🌸 Pure Kashmiri Kesar from Pulwama - deeply aromatic, intensely colored, and exceptionally potent. Hand-harvested and hand-processed by our trusted organic farmer in Kashmir’s legendary saffron bowl, nurtured through almost a decade of captive partnership.

What This Saffron is Unique:

Kashmiri saffron is not merely a spice - it is heritage agriculture.

🌱 Grown in the high-altitude plateaus of Pulwama, the heart of Kashmir’s saffron belt, this kesar develops qualities unmatched anywhere else:

• 🌺 Deep crimson strands with trumpet tips
• 🍯 Warm honey-floral aroma
• ✨ Extraordinary colouring strength

Our saffron comes from a single organic farmer with whom we have worked closely for almost a decade. This long-term relationship ensures complete control over farming practices, harvesting discipline, and post-harvest handling - a rarity in the saffron trade.

🌅 Each crocus flower is hand-picked at dawn, when aroma compounds peak. The delicate stigmas are manually separated and shade-dried naturally, preserving crocin (color), safranal (aroma), and picrocrocin (flavor). Just a few strands release a rich golden hue within minutes.

❌ No blending. ❌ No speed drying. ❌ No shortcuts. ✅ Only authentic Kashmiri saffron, the way it has been produced for centuries.
