FAQ

How much saffron does a paella program go through?

A standard paella for 4 uses about 0.2–0.3 g of saffron. A restaurant serving 30 paellas a week burns roughly 6–9 g per week, or 25–40 g per month. A 10 g tin is a good first-order size; volume programs typically settle at 50–100 g per month.

How is saffron stored in a busy kitchen?

Sealed tin in a dry cabinet, away from the stove and direct light. Avoid refrigerating saffron — temperature shifts and humidity hurt aroma. A well-stored tin holds peak flavor for ~2 years.

Do you provide lab documentation?

For wholesale orders of 100 g+ we can include ISO 3632 lab documentation on request.

Can you support a same-week order?

Yes — most wholesale orders ship within 2 business days from Lynn, MA. Larger or private-label orders need 5–7 days lead time.
