Proper storage is essential to maintain the prized characteristics of your Sargol saffron and protect it from its primary adversaries: heat, moisture, and light. To preserve its delicate aroma, potent flavor, and vibrant color, always keep the saffron in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry away from the stove or sunlight. The “Best before 24 months” date signifies the period of peak quality, ensuring the saffron delivers its full sensory profile. While the product remains safe for consumption beyond this date if stored correctly, its potency will gradually diminish, requiring you to use more to achieve the same effect. Following these guidelines will guarantee you enjoy the ultimate saffron experience for its entire shelf life.
1. What is the difference between Sargol and other types of saffron?
Sargol saffron contains only the red stigmas of the saffron flower, offering maximum color, aroma, and flavor. It is more potent and pure compared to other types like Pushal or Bunch saffron.
2. Why should I buy saffron in bulk instead of retail packaging?
Bulk saffron purchases offer cost-efficiency, consistent supply for businesses, and customizable packaging options for resellers and distributors.
3. How do I know if the saffron is authentic and high quality?
Look for certified lab results (Crocin above 230, Safranal 28–50), proper packaging, and international food safety certifications like ISO 3632, HACCP, and HALAL.
4. How is Esfedan’s saffron different from other brands?
Esfedan controls the entire production chain—from farming to packaging—using advanced technology and cold storage. Their saffron consistently meets top-tier international standards and is trusted by global professionals.
5. What is the shelf life of saffron, and how should I store it?
Properly stored in a cool, dry, dark place, saffron retains its quality for up to 24 months. Airtight containers protect it from light, heat, and moisture, which can degrade its potency.
6. Can I use Sargol saffron for both cooking and beverages?
Yes. Sargol saffron is highly versatile and ideal for rice dishes, desserts, teas, and more. Infuse it in warm water first for best results.
