Beschreibung
The premium saffron from Orient Kontor is characterised by its extremely high quality. Regular laboratory tests in Germany confirm that our saffron threads belong to category I in accordance with ISO 3632-2 certification and are therefore absolute top quality show. We are proud of this and are happy to share our latest laboratory results:
| Test value | Orient Kontor Saffron | Category 1 according to ISO 3632-2 |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour (Safranal) | 47 | min. 20 max. 50 |
| Bitterness (Pricrocrocin) | 96 | min. 70 |
| Colouring power (Crocin) | 246 | min. 200 |
The high quality of our product is due to the ideal growing and harvesting conditions. The Premium saffron from Orient Kontor originates exclusively from Iran, more precisely from the region of Khorasan. There we source our saffron from small family farms that have been operating for many generations in the high plateaus of Khorasan live from growing saffron. Harvest time is only once a year. In order to best preserve the flavour of the saffron crocus flower threads, the harvest begins at dawn, even before the first rays of sunlight touch the earth. The saffron is painstakingly harvested by hand in a way that has remained unchanged for centuries, then processed and dried in the traditional way. One gram of our premium saffron requires around 150 crocus flowers, from which each thread of saffron is collected individually.
Only through this effort is it possible to achieve this top quality. By using our saffron, you can give your dishes a special flavour. Unique and noble flavour and add flavour to any dish. Convince yourself of the intensity of our product and refine your cuisine with the "red gold".
Our saffron threads contain a high proportion of essential oils and crocetin (crocin), a natural colouring agent that is responsible for the intense orange-red colour. This natural component also ensures that the dishes seasoned with it turn golden yellow and develop an incredibly intense yet unobtrusive flavour, enhancing every dish.
Is the saffron organically grown?
Yes, our saffron is grown organically without the use of pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals. However, it is not EU organic certified. Certification of the small and exclusive fields of our farmers is neither economical nor does it bring any advantage in the selling price for the producers and buyers.

I have just received an excellent delivery of saffron from Yasmin Goudarzi (Orient Kontor). The quality is truly exceptional, both in flavour and smell. The long, deep red saffron threads exude an intense, unmistakable aroma that can even be perceived through the metal tin3
5
. The flavour is exactly as it should be - bitter-tart, floral and at the same time elegant and refined3
. The sensory characteristics are perfectly in line with the analytical evaluations, which confirms the top quality of this saffron. The threads are thick, long and have the characteristic funnel-shaped structure of real saffron flavours5
. Yasmin Goudarzi's expertise and commitment to the highest quality are clearly evident in this product. She sources the saffron directly from the Khorasan region of Iran, where the climatic conditions are ideal for cultivation1
. This guarantees the best quality available on the world market. Orient Kontor remains the absolute top supplier for my kitchen. The consistency and excellence of their products are impressive and turn every use of saffron into a culinary experience.

Best saffron I've ever had. Either all the traders I've dealt with so far have had something between poor quality and fake goods in their range, or this saffron is of exceptional quality. In any case, it has an extremely fine flavour, each thread is perfectly shaped and relatively large, and it also colours beautifully. And at a very reasonable price. I am overwhelmed and will only buy saffron here. The black tea with saffron also has my unreserved recommendation. Simply fantastic and a great flavour composition. Just like in an upscale Persian restaurant!

Wonderfully flavoured saffron. A great product that is delivered to your home without a lot of packaging. The small metal tin can be used for other things when empty. The tea is also delicious.

Despite the announced "delivery delay" due to high demand from the star advert, the goods arrived very quickly.
I have prepared risotto milanese twice, great. The colour and smell are actually more intense than the Spanish product from the market hall in Frankfurt-Höchst. Thank you very much.

Black tea with saffron will be served more often in future, risotto Milanese next weekend.
I came across Stern's in my Firefox browser among the articles recommended by Pocket, compliments to your advertising department. In any case, I wish you every business success with this great product. I will remain your customer.

The goods arrived quickly in a nice, well-sealed tin. The saffron is also easy to remove from the tin. Well crushed and added to the paella. Wow, very nice colour and very good aroma.
Wonderful.
I will probably need new saffron soon, as the paella went down (too) well with Family&Friends.
