Saffron grown in Delamere Cheshire by brothers Pete and Doug. A passion to produce the best traceable pure saffron. Since 2015 we have been supplying the general public and chefs from AA to Michelin star level. We have won several awards including a 2-star Great Taste Award 2017 and 2020 and Cheshire Life Producer of the Year Award 2019.

The product has been featured on The Great British Menu, The Roux Scholarship Finals 2019 and Countryfile 2017 and 2019 as well as many papers and magazine articles.

Our production of British saffron started many years ago out of curiosity and interest, first growing English saffron in a basic hydroponics setup in my fathers shed before moving to a full hydroponics hothouse. During these years Peter (an active researcher in Plant Molecular Biology) experimented with many variables in growing British saffron, altering nutrients, lighting and temperature amongst many other things to fully understand the optimal growing conditions for saffron production. Since 2015 we have been growing our English saffron in a field chosen for the best position for growing this amazing crop.

Where we are based:
Nestled in the hills of the mid Cheshire sandstone ridge, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, we have sourced the perfect location for our prized spice with well-drained, sloping, sandy soils. We have sourced the finest Crocus corm and ensured we have precisely the right soil pH and balance of nutrients to produce the most exquisite saffron.

Our award-winning British saffron contains only the vivid red stigmas (no yellow styles). We painstakingly harvest and process the saffron by hand, delicately extracting 3 saffron strands per flower, before individually removing the yellow styles. We only sell from the current harvest. Our Saffron contains very high levels of the Saffron active chemicals Saffranal (aroma), Crocin (colour) and Picocrocin (flavour). It is ISO:3632 grade 1 (the highest quality Saffron).

Come and try our precious spice with honey floral aroma and vivid red colour.
