Below is our some of recent laboratory reports. With each importation, we demand a lab report for that particular shipment, not one made three years ago. If you ask most importers, they do not know what a photospectometry report is. In order to protect yourself, and make sure that your saffron is pure, safe and of excellent quality, you must have a photospectometry report, like the one you see here. We have one report for each importation, covering color, aroma, flavor and cleanliness. The factors which are very important in saffron are crocin (color),picrocrocin (flavor) and safranal (aroma). Higher amount of these compounds in saffron provide higher quality of saffron. We often buy our Saffrons from the farmers directly or Intermediatly, and before buy from them, at first we give some pieces of their Saffrons to lab, then we give the lab report to customers. If its acceptable for them, so we send the Saffrons to customers
