Persian Saffron
Persian saffron · Qaen, Iran
A thousand and one nights fit in a single thread
Super Negin from Qaen, direct from origin, for restaurants and gourmet shops.
One thread, one night. هزار و یک
Origin
One place: Qaen, in South Khorasan, with centuries of saffron tradition.
Purity
Red stigma only, no yellow style. More colour and aroma with less saffron.
Craft
Picked by hand at dawn and packed in Valencia in glass jars and airtight tins.
Direct from origin
No middlemen: we buy directly in Qaen. Super Negin at trade prices.
The harvest
Picked by hand, flower by flower
In autumn the fields turn purple. The flowers are picked before sunrise and the stigmas are separated by hand that same morning.
The name
A story every night
In One Thousand and One Nights, Shahrazad saved her life by telling a story every night. Every saffron thread is a small story too: a flower that opens in autumn, is picked by hand before sunrise and separated one by one. That is why we are called 1001.
