Grown by Raqib Mushtaq on his family's 3.75 acre farm in the historic saffron district of Pampore, where they have been growing saffron for as far back as his grandparents can remember. Brought to the Valley by Persian traders in the 12th century AD, Kashmiri saffron's reputation as being the pinnacle of flavour and aroma precedes it.

Our Kashmiri Saffron, or kesar, is grown in Pampore, Kashmir, the historic saffron capital of the world, and one of the only places in the world that produces saffron of this quality and depth. Hand-harvested each autumn with just three tiny stigmas per crocus, even a few threads are enough to turn rice, kheer, chai, or pasta golden and profoundly fragrant. If you've only ever used supermarket saffron, real Indian saffron from Kashmir is a revelation you didn't know you needed.
