Tarvand Saffron operates at the heart of the Ghaenat saffron region, benefiting from its unique altitude, climate, and soil conditions.
The authenticity of Tarvand saffron is officially recognized through the Geographical Indication (GI) registration of Ghaenat Saffron with WIPO (Switzerland), ensuring origin verification and product traceability.
Tarvand Saffron’s advantage lies in the connection between authenticity and innovation.
Tarvand’s comparative advantage is its direct presence at the source of production, alongside the saffron farms of Ghaenat, combined with the official Geographical Indication (GI) registration of Ghaenat Saffron with WIPO (Switzerland). This foundation ensures origin authenticity, traceability, and verifiable quality.
Building on this authenticity, Tarvand has developed a distinctive competitive advantage by introducing a new way of thinking about saffron. Rather than limiting saffron to traditional forms, Tarvand explores its lesser-known dimensions and redefines its use, application, and value in modern markets.
The development of products such as saffron extract, saffron based chewing gum, herbal infusions, functional beverages, and innovative personal-care applications reflects this forward looking approach presenting saffron not only as a spice, but as a versatile and contemporary ingredient.
