The Golden Spice, From the Heart of Kashmir

Experience the unparalleled luxury and profound benefits of The Village Company’s Premium Kashmiri Mogra Saffron (Kesar). Harvested with meticulous care from the crocus sativus flower in the pristine valleys of Kashmir, “Mogra” refers to the highest grade of saffron, characterized by its long, dark red threads and minimal yellow style. This ensures maximum potency, intense aroma, and vibrant coloring power. Revered for centuries in cuisine, medicine, and beauty rituals, our saffron is pure, unadulterated, and promises to transform your dishes and enhance your well-being.

Storage Instructions: Preserve Its Potency!

To maintain its exquisite aroma, color, and beneficial properties, store The Village Company Kashmiri Mogra Saffron in an airtight container (preferably glass) in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. A kitchen cabinet or pantry is ideal. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator unless it’s an extremely humid environment, as condensation can affect its quality. Proper storage can keep it potent for up to two years.

Did You Know?

Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world by weight! This is because each delicate crocus flower produces only three tiny stigma (saffron threads), and it takes approximately 150,000 flowers to yield just one kilogram of saffron. The entire harvesting process is done meticulously by hand!
