Only a fraction of each harvest meets the size and shape needed for this grade, which is why it's set aside separately rather than blended in.

PRODUCT STORY

Handpicked, Not Blended.

Why this grade is kept on its own.

ORIGIN

The Pond

The same traditional pond-growing regions as the rest of our collection.

SELECTION

Sorted by Hand

Larger pieces are picked out individually rather than by machine.

RESULT

Uniform & Whole

A grade defined by size and consistency, batch after batch.

ZAFFRANÉ

Every batch has a place in the story.

This page is built to grow with real batch information, sourcing detail and packaging photography as it becomes available — we'd rather stay accurate than invent it.
