Premium Persian Saffron: The World’s Finest Red Gold

Saffron is more than a spice; it is a globally sought-after ingredient essential to the culinary, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. At Hober Tejarat Pasargad, we supply 100% pure, hand-harvested Persian Saffron directly from the most fertile agricultural regions of Iran (Khorasan). We cater to international distributors, gourmet food manufacturers, and health supplement brands, ensuring a consistent supply of premium saffron that delivers unmatched aroma, vibrant color, and distinct flavor.

Our Premium Saffron Grades

Understanding that different industries have varying requirements, we offer all commercial grades of authentic saffron, meticulously sorted and processed:

1. Super Negin (Highest Quality)

The crown jewel of saffron. Super Negin consists entirely of premium, long, and thick all-red stigmas with no yellow or white parts. It boasts the highest levels of Crocin (coloring strength), making it the top choice for luxury retail brands and high-end culinary applications.

2. Negin

Similar to Super Negin but with slightly shorter threads. It contains no yellow style and offers excellent coloring and aroma. Negin is highly favored by international distributors seeking a balance of top-tier quality and visual appeal.

3. Sargol (All-Red)

Sargol means “top of the flower”. It consists of the red stigma tips only. While the threads are shorter or sometimes broken compared to Negin, its coloring strength is exceptionally high, making it perfect for food processing, restaurants, and the beverage industry.

4. Pushal & Bunch (Dasteh)

Pushal includes the red stigmas along with 2-3 mm of the yellow style, serving as undeniable proof of authenticity. Bunch (Dasteh) is the complete stigma (red and yellow parts) tied together. These grades are often preferred by traditional markets and pharmaceutical extractors.
