Our Quality Control System covers two parts:
- Saffron Filaments Quality Control
- Packaging Quality Control
There are much to do in Saffron Quality Control; due to
traditional farming system in Iran and this fact that each
hectare yields about 4 kilos of saffron (From 150,000 up
to 190,000 crocus flowers, about 1 kilo saffron is extracted).
There are few farmers in Iran that their farm is larger than a hectare. And as saffron specifications depend on saffron
flower processing and each farmer processes its saffron itself, so each few kilos of this product has its own specifications.
An international standard for saffron is available (ISO
3632-1:1993). Saffron in filaments is classified into four
categories according to its flora waste and extraneous matter
and other specifications (for more information check our
Grades & Classifications page).
At each category, we check the specifications to conform to or even exceed the category standards.
In addition we supply our clients with Iran Standard Institute certification which is official organization for saffron
analysis.
As an example, in right, we have shown an experiment which is done to distinguish fake saffron from real saffron.

Higher quality is not acquired just by adding supervising, inspecting and monitoring steps.
Horizontal management, valuing team working and hard working,
training plans, Research and Development, paying attention
to employees' rights and their physical and psychological
health, being in connection with final consumers and commercial
clients and continuous activities for acquiring better understanding
of target market situations are some of our efforts for
improving our quality.
