Choosing a saffron grade is one of the first decisions an importer, distributor or private label brand makes. The right grade depends on your market, your customers and how the saffron will be packed and presented. This guide explains the three varieties Klayn Global Foods supplies, how their quality is verified, and what we need from you to prepare a quotation.
Where our saffron comes from
Our Iranian saffron is sourced directly from our own farms in Mashhad, Iran. Working from our own farms gives us closer control over sourcing, product quality and supply, and it means every shipment can be traced to its origin.
The three grades
Super Negin
Super Negin is our premium grade, known for its long red threads, rich color and distinctive aroma. In our saffron catalogue it is described as having the highest color intensity (crocin above 250), with all-red, long, thick filaments and the yellow styles completely trimmed.
Negin
Negin is a high-quality saffron suitable for various retail, wholesale and commercial applications. Its first-class threads offer vibrant color, an exquisite aroma and a symmetrical structure.
Royal
Royal is a premium offering for buyers seeking quality saffron products for their target markets.

| Super Negin | Premium grade; long, thick, all-red threads; highest color intensity; styles fully trimmed |
