We supply the finest saffron in the world Our Company
The Persian Trader is a family owned business proudly based in Edinburgh.

We are as passionate about authenticity, provenance and traceability, as we are about supplying the world’s finest quality saffron. We source our saffron from ancient farms located in the North East of Iran, where the softly sloping terrain that directly faces the sun, is perfect for growing the delicate flowers we painstakingly harvest. Through regular trips to the region, we have formed a solid bond of trust and partnership with our growers, who take a great pride in their work and the knowledge they are keeping alive a tradition that is literally thousands of years old.
