Saffron
Shakthi GTC is one of the leading suppliers of organic saffron in India. Our saffron is renowned for its vibrant red color, distinct aroma, and exceptional flavor. Used for thousands of years in both cooking and medicine, saffron is considered one of the most prized spices in the world. Due to the labor-intensive process of harvesting it—requiring numerous flowers to produce just a small amount—saffron is among the most expensive spices by weight. We are confident that you will appreciate the rich flavor and outstanding quality of our saffron.
Our saffron is sourced from the best-growing regions globally, including Iran, India, and Spain, which are the largest producers, along with Afghanistan, Greece, Morocco, Italy, Azerbaijan, and Turkey.
We have the different type of saffron:
- Iranian Saffron (Persian Saffron): Known for its strong flavor, aroma, and deep red color, Iranian saffron is among the most prized varieties.
- Spanish Saffron: Spanish saffron, particularly from the La Mancha region, is highly regarded for its quality. It tends to have a slightly milder flavor compared to Iranian saffron.
- Kashmiri Saffron: From the Kashmir region of India, this saffron is prized for its intense aroma, dark red color, and strong flavor.
- Afghan Saffron: Afghan saffron has gained recognition for its high quality and is known for its deep red threads and strong flavor.
- Greek Saffron: Saffron produced in Greece is esteemed for its unique flavor and aroma, though it’s often less intense than Persian or Kashmiri saffron.
- Italian Saffron: Saffron cultivated in Italy, particularly in the Abruzzo region, is valued for its high quality and is often used in Italian cuisine.
