Fast-Color Release | GI-Tagged Pampore Origin | Economical Premium Grade

Kashmiri Zarda Saffron from OVEE EXIM is sourced directly from the fertile saffron fields of Pampore, Kashmir, the region globally acclaimed for producing aromatic saffron with unmatched natural color strength. The Zarda grade consists of thinner, delicate saffron strands with a noticeable portion of the yellow style attached. This natural structure gives Zarda its signature fast-dissolving color and makes it highly suitable for kitchens that require quick infusion and consistent flavor.

Zarda saffron is harvested through early morning handpicking, ensuring each Crocus sativus flower is at peak freshness. After harvesting, the stigmas are separated by trained workers and naturally sun-dried, preserving purity and flavor without any artificial heat or machinery. Each batch is hand-sorted to remove impurities and ensure a clean product.

Compared to Mogra (thick, pure red stigmas) and Lacha (long stigmas with yellow style), Zarda is lighter, thinner, and more economical, making it ideal for commercial culinary applications while still preserving Kashmiri saffron’s authentic aroma.
