The World's Most Precious
Spice & Honey
Saffron (Crocus sativus) is one of the most precious spices humanity has ever discovered, with a history spanning thousands of years. In the fertile soils of Afghanistan's Herat region, the crimson stigmas inside purple flowers that bloom each November are hand-picked one by one before dawn. Meanwhile, our bees on Anzer Plateau collect pure nectar from over 60 endemic plant species.
Producing one kilogram of saffron requires processing approximately 150,000 flowers. This incredible labor and precision makes saffron the most expensive spice in the world by weight. Used for centuries in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, saffron and honey add far more than unique golden color, extraordinary aroma and deep flavor.

Nature's Purest
Delight
Honey is a healing food thousands of years old, created when bees transform nectar collected from flowers with their enzymes. The endemic flora of Anzer Plateau at altitudes over 3,000 meters provides our bees with a unique nectar source. Each jar is the essence of pure nectar collected from over 60 plant species.
Anzer Honey is considered one of the rarest and most valuable honeys in the world. Produced with traditional beekeeping methods, our unfiltered and additive-free honey brings nature's purest flavor to your table. In every spoonful, you will feel the clean air of the Toros Mountains and the rich vegetation of Anzer Plateau.
