Planning recipes and production

For central kitchens, catering and manufacturing, measure saffron consistently and trial it in your own recipes. Use a repeatable infusion method and record the quantity, liquid volume and preparation time. Colour, aroma and cost per portion depend on your recipe and process.

Professional purchasing and documentation

Discuss the origin, batch details and available laboratory documents with Saffrona before agreeing a production supply. Share the requirements of your purchasing and quality teams so the scope of documentation can be confirmed for the order.

Regular supply and supplier partnerships

Saffrona works directly with producers in Herat and supplies customers from Germany. For a regular purchasing programme, contact us about expected quantities, delivery dates, stock planning and agreed quality specifications.

Annual supply arrangements and larger orders can be discussed individually. Any delivery schedule, specification or guarantee must be agreed as part of that arrangement.

Packaging and storage

Keep saffron tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from light. Follow the best-before date and storage instructions on the pack, and rotate stock according to your production needs.

Our producer relationships

Our supply connects family farms and women working in saffron production in Herat with customers in Germany and beyond. Ask us about our origins and producer relationships when evaluating your supply.
