Two sizes

The same saffron, either way.

Both sizes hold the same Grade A Super Negin. The only difference is how much of it you have to cook with.

The box

Ready to give, or to keep.

Every order arrives in a black heaven-and-earth box finished with the Vivid Saffron name in gold. Inside, the glass vial rests in its own cradle, with a ribbon underneath to lift it out.

It is the same box whether the saffron is for your own kitchen or for someone else's.

Keep it dark and dry

The vial is clear so you can see every thread. Keep it in its box, in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, and it will be ready for the next pinch.

03

Put right if it isn't

Saffron is food, so opened vials cannot be returned. If your order arrives damaged, reply to your order confirmation and we will put it right.
