The saffron price in Spain is €1.76 to €1.96 per gram for Esfedan’s 1 g Sargol and Negin products. For bulk products, the price ranges from €480 to €1,400 per kg. These prices are in euros and are based on delivery to Madrid.
The first thing to check is which product you are comparing. A 1 g pack of saffron threads, a bulk order of threads and a kg of instant granulated saffron extract are not three prices for the same item. The sections below separate gram and kg prices so you can find the one that applies to your order. For a price reference beyond Spain, you can also read our saffron price guide.
Saffron Price per kg in Spain
The saffron price per kg in Spain ranges from €480 to €1,400 per kg, based on delivery to Madrid. This is the range across Esfedan’s bulk products, not a price range for saffron threads alone.
That distinction matters when you look at the figures. The lower end is an instant granulated saffron extract product; the upper end is Super Negin saffron threads. If you are looking for threads, compare the thread products with one another. If your business uses powder or instant extract, check the price of that form instead.
| Product | Price per kg | Minimum Coloring Strength | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bunch Saffron | €1,112 | 140-170 | Threads |
| Instant Granulated Saffron | €480 | +40 | Granul |
| Negin Saffron | €1,400 | 240-275 | Threads |
| Pushal Saffron | €1,304 | 220-250 | Threads |
| Saffron Powder Grade 1 | €1,279 | 200 | Powder |
| Saffron Powder Grade 2 | €1,154 | +170 | Powder |
| Sargol Saffron | €0 | 235-260 | Threads |
| Super Negin Saffron | €1,400 | 250-285 | Threads |
Saffron Price per Gram in Spain
The saffron price per gram in Spain is €1.76 to €1.96 per gram for our 1 g Sargol and Negin products, based on delivery to Madrid. These are the prices of two specific 1 g products; they are not a single per-gram rate for every pack on this page.
You may need more or less than 1 g, depending on what you are making. The gram-price table lets you compare the available products by their actual pack weight and price, without having to calculate a price from the kg range.
What Affects Saffron Prices in Spain?
The product, its form and the amount you order all affect the price. Sargol and Negin threads have different listed prices, and the price of a gram-weight pack should not be compared directly with the per-gram equivalent of a commercial kg order. The bulk table also includes products other than whole threads.
Where the order is delivered matters as well. The prices displayed here use Madrid as their delivery basis. If you need delivery to Barcelona, Valencia, Seville or another destination, we will calculate the final price for that address. When comparing offers from different sellers, check that they cover the same saffron form, weight and delivery destination.
If the names of the thread grades are unfamiliar, our guide to the types of Iranian saffron will help you understand what you are comparing. The prices for Esfedan’s available products remain on this page.
Iranian vs Spanish vs Kashmiri Saffron Prices
There is no price order that applies to every Iranian, Spanish and Kashmiri saffron product. Kashmiri saffron is often sold as a premium-origin product, and genuine Spanish saffron carrying the La Mancha protected designation of origin can also command a higher price than many Iranian products. Iranian saffron is available across a wider range of products and prices, including premium thread grades.
Origin is only one part of the comparison. A small retail pack of Kashmiri saffron should not be compared with a kg quote for Iranian saffron; nor should a protected-origin Spanish product be compared with an instant saffron extract. To judge the difference fairly, compare the same form, weight and delivery basis, and check exactly which origin the seller is offering.
Esfedan’s prices on this page are for Iranian saffron offered for delivery in Spain. They are not prices for saffron grown in Spain or Kashmir.
Why Is Iranian Saffron Often Cheaper Than Spanish or Kashmiri Saffron?
Iran produces saffron on a much larger scale and supplies it in a broad range of grades and forms. That wider supply is one reason an Iranian product may be priced below a comparable product sold with a more limited origin. Spanish La Mancha PDO saffron is sold with a specific, protected geographic identity, while Kashmiri saffron comes from a much smaller producing region.
“Cheaper” does not mean “lower quality,” and it is not a rule for every listing. A premium Iranian thread product may cost more than a different Spanish pack. What matters to a buyer is the price of the product actually being offered, with its origin, form, weight and delivery terms made clear. If you are comparing Esfedan products, the gram and kg tables above provide those product-level prices.
Buy Saffron in Spain
In Spain, saffron is familiar in paella, but it is useful beyond one dish. You might need it for paella Valenciana, arroz a banda, a seafood rice dish or a fish stew you are making at home. In those cases, choosing a product by its pack weight is more useful than starting with a bulk kg price.
We supply smaller quantities as well as business orders. Take a look at the available saffron products and choose the one that suits what you plan to make. If you tell us the product, quantity and delivery city, we can confirm the price and order details with you. You are not limited to buying by the kg.
Wholesale Saffron for Buyers in Spain
A restaurant preparing paella regularly has a different purchasing need from someone making it once at home. The same is true of caterers serving rice dishes, spice packers and businesses making packaged paella or rice mixes. For these buyers, the kg price helps establish the cost of the saffron product they intend to use or sell.
The choice of form is important here, too. Some buyers want whole threads for presentation or resale; others are looking for a form suited to their own recipe or production process. Our Bulk & Wholesale Saffron range shows the available products. Tell us what you need, how much you expect to order and where it should be delivered, and we can prepare a quote for your business.
