We work ethically in local Indian spice farming communities to ensure a fully traceable, sustainable value chain. Cork, Ireland, 2006. Onward!
We source the freshest, most authentic spices to present the best Indian sauces, spice blends and rice. 100% natural, plant-based goodness. Green Saffron is a multi-award winning family business started by Arun Kapil in Midleton, Co. Married to Olive, a Cork native, they both share buckets of passion and a core belief that beautiful ingredients should be available to everybody; and so the pair set upon a journey. It all began when Arun started attending Farmer Markets whilst cooking in the Ballymaloe House kitchens to earn his crust – selling highest grade, fresh, beautiful and authentic spice blends to an intrigued audience. The journey swiftly moved into a retail product with a presence in food specialist outlets. Today, Green Saffron's fresh spiced products are available in over 225 stores, including 140 Irish food specialists, Tesco Ireland, Supervalu, Dunnes Stores, Farmers Markets (Mahon Point and Ballyseedy) and Selfridges in London. Reach for the stars, grab a hold of your pans and shake the spice world by the scruff of its conventional collar!!

Arun Kapil has been out and about. Mad for road, he’s out, off and at it, spicing up whichever venue he’s invited to. For this one, this Curry Night, he headed over the most brilliant in Clanfield, Oxfordshire. He thoroughly enjoyed it and so, by all accounts, did the wonderful guests.
