Our story
My name is Lam Nguyen and with my husband Quang Mai, we present our GOZIE SAFFRON as a product of our company Gozie Limited. We both had a Bachelor degree in Agriculture and since then we are continuing to work with plants related industries and growing plants for businesses as well as gardeners. I also have got a second degree in BSc. International Administration. On the other hand, my husband even went further with his Master degree in Plant Science in NZ. Thus, we know how to grow plants, crops and particularly saffron and to make them to their best quality as much as possible.
About Our Saffron
Our Saffron farm situates in Ashhurst, a small town within Palmerston North city zone and the Manawatu region in New Zealand. With the favour of the weather and climate as dry summer, a few frosty winter nights, and low humidity atmosphere, our Saffron spice have the best optimum condition of growing. We say no to the chemical nasty stuff, so we do our best to grow saffron as the organic farm with only using organic matter and environment-friendly goodness such as blood and bone, sheep pellets, chicken manure from our free-range chicken flocks etc…
To make sure the Saffron quality is as Premium Grade 1, we are continuing to manage the quality by analysing the saffron spice against the International Standard quality ISO 3632-2 by having our Saffron tested with Massey University scientists in the quality laboratory. We have all 4 parameters tested for Premium Quality Saffron such as Colour, Taste, Bitter, Moisture (water content) while some growers only test with 2 to 3 parameters. Among these, the moisture content is also very important as it will reduce the quality of saffron if not done right. We dry our saffron 100% to kill the germs and maintain the moisture at 10% and should be within ISO standard.
We grow purely 100% local New Zealand saffron and we do not blend our saffron with imported products. Finally, we have pride in our products.
We stand for New Zealand Premium Quality Saffron, and we are proud of it.
Saffron is the most highly adulterated spice in the world. Reports have shown that nearly half of commercial Saffron products have been tampered with in some way. We take care of our homegrown Saffron from the time it has been planted to flowering and to the time it’s packaged.
