Afghan Saffron

Our exceptional saffron hails from the province of Herat, in western Afghanistan. In its arid valleys, independent farmers, empowered by Mira’s values, carefully cultivate the purple flowers and handpick the red stigmas in the fall. Also known as red gold for its heirloom value, its long strands and its deep red colour, testimony to its extraordinary quality, our precious spice emits a unique, ambrosial fragrance.
