Kind words
What our customers say
The quality was exceptional, especially the saffron. The packaging felt premium, the product looked authentic, and the whole experience felt thoughtfully put together. Qashvor has definitely earned my trust
Beautifully packed and genuinely premium. The walnuts were fresh, flavorful, and clearly selected with care. I really liked how Qashvor combines the authenticity of Kashmir with a modern brand experience.
Buy with confidence
Is it real saffron? Here's how to tell
Saffron is one of the most copied spices in the world. These are simple checks you can do at home with any saffron, including ours.
-
The warm-water test
Drop a few threads into warm water or milk. Real saffron slowly releases a golden colour over 10–15 minutes while the threads stay red. Dyed fakes turn the water red at once and fade.
-
Look at the threads
Mongra threads are deep red from end to end, with a slightly flared, trumpet-shaped tip. Yellow or white ends mean the paler part of the flower is included — a lower grade.
-
Smell and taste
Real saffron smells sweet and hay-like, but tastes slightly bitter. If it tastes sweet, it isn't saffron.
-
Why Mongra
Mongra is the top Kashmiri grade: only the deep-red upper part of each stigma, separated by hand after the Pampore harvest.
