The catalogue

Everything we sell, and where it comes from.

Three tiers, one rule: every item names the person who made it and the lot it belongs to. Most of the catalogue is made to order, so what you see is what is actually available to commission this season.

Saffron and pantry

Zafran Kitchen

What you cook with. Saffron from a single field, and a short pantry list bought from the same valley — each with a lot number and a named grower.
