Unveiling Our Saffron Legacy
Embarking on a transformative mission, two brothers, Barakat and Kudrat Rahmati, set out to create a saffron legacy that would resonate with the world. Their journey began in 2003 with their family-owned business, Herati Saffron Company, which produces premium saffron in Herat, Afghanistan. By 2008, they had expanded their horizons, introducing the aroma and flavor of their premium saffron to international markets.
With vast ancestral estates that had witnessed the toil of hired hands, the brothers chose to forge their path differently – immersing themselves in every aspect of cultivation. Their father’s dedication to nurturing various crops served as their guiding light. Yet, it was the allure of saffron, the world’s most coveted spice, that ignited their passion. Over 20 years, they meticulously honed their expertise in saffron farming, embracing the delicate nuances and demands of this cherished blossom.
In the heart of Herat, the brothers donned the roles of modern-day stewards, tending to the saffron bulbs, cherishing each vibrant petal, and hand-picking the precious stigmas. Their approach remained deeply rooted in their farming legacy – a heritage that celebrated dedication, authenticity, and hands-on craftsmanship. As their enterprise flourished, Barakat and Kudrat found themselves entrusting a dedicated team with the daily farm operations. Yet, their hands-on approach endured, ensuring that the integrity and quality passed down through generations remained unblemished.
Today, Herati Saffron Company stands as a beacon of excellence, blending their ancestral expertise with modern innovation. Every strand of saffron they produce carries the weight of generations past, the dedication of two brothers, and the promise of exceptional flavor and aroma. Embark on a journey that spans time and tradition and let the essence of our saffron weave its way into your culinary creations. Join us in celebrating a legacy of farming, passion, and flavor that defines Herati Saffron – where the past meets the present to create an exceptional future.
