Our Heritage

The Story of "Saffron Baba"

The modern success story of Herat saffron is closely linked to a well-known figure often referred to as "Saffron Baba." During a time of great challenge, he worked alongside local farmers to revive traditional saffron cultivation. Through knowledge, patience, and dedication, he helped create a sustainable alternative for many families.


Today, saffron from Herat is globally recognised as one of the finest grades available. Royal Safran continues this tradition, bringing this extraordinary spice directly from its region of origin to customers in Switzerland and the EU.
