In this short article, we’ll give you the tools and tips you need to figure out how to source the very best saffron out there (and how to avoid the rest).

Location, location, location First up, you should consider the origin of your saffron.

In fact, Persian saffron accounts for over 90% of the world saffron trade, so there’s a fair chance that any saffron you’re considering has its origin there.

Farms that do it right Be aware that there are a huge variety of saffron producing operations—and they’re not all the same.Saffron is a famously delicate crop, and it’s not easy to produce (which is a big part of the reason why it’s so expensive).

Look for smaller, local farms—ideally ones run by people who have been in the business for generations: family farms.

When you’re buying Persian saffron, this means looking for “sargol” saffron, and nothing less: produced with the crimson tips of the stigma.
