Kashmiri saffron (locally known as Kesar or Kong Posh) is one of the world’s rarest and most prized spices — often referred to as “Red Gold” due to its intense color, rich aroma, and exceptional culinary and medicinal value. It is grown exclusively in the Kashmir Valley of northern India, primarily in the Pampore region, at elevations of around 1,600 – 1,800 m above sea level.
Grown in the unique cold climate and karewa soil of Kashmir — conditions that produce saffron with higher concentrations of natural compounds like crocin (color), safranal (aroma), and picrocrocin (flavor).
Cultivation is 100% natural and hand-harvested, with farmers manually plucking the delicate red stigmas from each crocus flower during a short autumn harvest window.
Only stigmas (threads) are used — no petals or fillers — resulting in a premium spice prized worldwide.
