The saffron
Only the red tip of the stigma
Super Negin is the most select grade of Iranian saffron. This is the saffron that reaches your kitchen.
What Super Negin means
Each Crocus sativus flower has three stigmas. For Super Negin, only the thick, even red part is separated by hand, and the yellow style, which adds little colour or aroma, is discarded. The result is long, clean whole threads of a deep red.
From Qaen, Iran
Qaen lies in South Khorasan, Iran’s most traditional saffron region. Its dry climate and cold nights give saffron with plenty of colour and aroma. The flower opens in autumn and is picked by hand before dawn, while it is still closed.
Colour
Deep, even red. It turns stock a rich golden yellow.
Aroma
Floral, with notes of honey and hay. You notice it as soon as you open the pack.
Flavour
Slightly bitter and long-lasting. A few threads are enough.
