Green Saffron brings small, frequent shipments of the freshest, highest quality spices direct from India to their base in Midleton, County Cork. Each week they then expertly grind them into authentic family spice blends with really simple, easy-to-follow accompanying recipes for delicious tasting, intensely honest Indian meals of immense flavour, free from anything artificial. Arun spent many hours in the company of his aunts and cousins learning the esoteric ways of spice blending and traditional cooking. The spice blends used are time-tested, family blends handed down and refined over many generations. They’ve been cooked in all settings for all occasions, from the most humble meal to the most splendid banquet. With Aruns family scouring India for growers who go the extra mile, they look only for the best, highest quality, most fresh produce – seeking out the small suppliers the big companies miss. Small and regular shipments ensures you cook with the freshest ingredients. 
Arun Kapil - Founder and MD of Green Saffron came to Ireland from London in September 2004 for the Ballymaloe Cookery Course. It was while Arun was working at the house that he came up with the idea of importing spices. Arun got his whole family to help out with his mother coming up with the name of the business and his fathers’ contacts in India along with his wife and two brothers helping out where possible. Having a lot of relatives still in India, Arun isn’t short of help, with one of his cousins, Guria, being the spice quality controller. Guria’s husband, Vievek is the business brain whilst his father provides expertise in import trading.
