Certified Saffron Producer
IFS FOOD Version 7 – FSSC 22000 -Organic Certificate
At Persian Queen the saffron stigmas are picked by hand from each individual flower to preserve their delicate quality. The saffron is dehydrated naturally: the stigmas are exposed to the sun at the day of collection. The humidity level should be less than 9% after this dehydration process. During the this process, the stigmas lose most of their weight; therefore we need more than 100.000-150.000 flowers to produce a single kilo of saffron.
After the collection, the saffron is tested in our accredited laboratory in Iran before being packed and shipped. Persian Queen has implemented FSMS requirements and is in line with the following standards:
– Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 2200
