Our premium saffron (kesar) is ethically harvested from a single, certified farm in Pampore, Kashmir— We source only the rare IS Grade - A1 variety, known locally as Mongra or Mogra, easily recognized by its rich maroon-red stigmas.
This exclusive saffron is considered one of the finest in the world, containing high concentrations of Safranal, Crocin, and Picrocrocin—the compounds responsible for its vibrant color, distinct honey-like fragrance, and complex flavor that starts slightly bitter but finishes with a gentle sweetness.
Oils India’s saffron offers exceptional coloring strength (230+). Once infused, the deep red strands open up into bold, thick crimson filaments, signaling its unmatched quality.
