Iranian Saffron - The finest Spice in the World

Saffron, which is called Health Flower, king of spices and red gold, is the most valuable plant in Iran and comes from the slopes of Alborz Mounts.

The tradition of growing Saffron in Iran dates back to the years of B.C. and it expanded in the poor raining region of Iran, which has cold winters and hot summers.
The only criterion to guarantee the quality of saffron was farmers' experience and their white hair were a confirmation.

But now farming has changed and all processes of planting, gathering, packaging and sending should be controlled
because the major criteria used to identify saffron's quality and health are moisture, dust, other natural impurities, aroma and taste.

For this reason continental company integrates unique Iranian saffron with European knowledge
in order to achieve high quality and customers satisfaction and reliability .

Continental is bound to have precise control on saffron as complicated process from farm to market
in order to preserve the customer's reliability which is the most valuable asset.
