Enter the pinnacle of luxury agricultural commodities with premium Saffron, universally recognized as the world’s most precious and expensive spice by weight. Composed of the delicate, hand-harvested crimson stigmas from the Crocus sativus flower, it requires approximately 150,000 blossoms to yield just one single kilogram of this extraordinary spice. At Aba Impex, we select and supply top-tier saffron featuring an uncompromised deep crimson red color and exceptional levels of crocin (color), picrocrocin (taste), and safranal (aroma). A tiny pinch of this exquisite spice transforms culinary creations, imparting a brilliant golden-yellow hue, a rich aroma with notes of sweet hay and metallic honey, and a complex, bittersweet flavor. Saffron is an essential choice for classic gourmet dishes like Spanish paella, Italian risotto alla Milanese, and premium Persian rice preparations, offering an unmatched standard of culinary luxury.

Types

• Super Negin Saffron: The most luxurious and expensive grade, consisting of long, thick, all-crimson threads with zero yellow style component and maximum color power.
• Negin Saffron: Premium all-red stigmas, slightly shorter than Super Negin but still offering exceptional aroma, deep color, and excellent purity.
• Sargol Saffron: Consists entirely of the top red tips of the saffron threads, cut to eliminate any yellow parts, providing high potency for culinary processing.
• Pushal Saffron: Features the complete red thread attached to a small yellow base style, providing an authentic look that demonstrates its natural origin.
