Premium saffron rock candy on hygienic wooden sticks with visible saffron threads, presented in a rigid 16-piece crystal gift box for retail and HORECA.
FAQ
The gross weight of each 24-unit master carton is approximately 9 to 10 kg. A standard 20ft dry container accommodates approximately 1,200 to 1,400 cartons loose-loaded, or roughly 900 to 1,000 cartons when palletized, optimizing both cubic volume and road gross vehicle limits.
The 16-piece SKU strikes an optimal price-to-volume ratio on retail shelves. It offers better unit economics for families than the 10-piece box while maintaining an accessible retail price point, ensuring rapid stock rotation in supermarket hot beverage aisles.
Natural saffron is initially infused into supersaturated hot sucrose syrup. Hand-selected saffron stigmas are carefully introduced during the crystallization phase over submerged wooden skewers. As sucrose crystals grow organically around the stick, the saffron filaments become embedded inside the crystal lattice.
Under ambient transit conditions below 30°C, crystals remain stable and transparent. However, when shipping through high-humidity tropical corridors during summer, utilizing dry insulated containers or temperature-controlled reefers (set at 20–25°C) is recommended to prevent surface sweating.
Prior to production, wooden sticks undergo industrial dry-heat sterilization. The factory quality laboratory inspects batches for total microbial count, yeast and molds, and verifies the total absence of toxic wood preservatives, formaldehyde residues, and mechanical splinters.
Yes, distributors and trade buyers can combine 10, 16, and 20-piece crystal packs along with branch rock candies to satisfy minimum order quantities, provided each individual SKU meets full-pallet increments.
Due to high sucrose purity and uniform crystalline formation, stirring in hot tea (above 80°C) dissolves the saffron surface layer within 30 seconds, leading to full dissolution within 2 to 3 minutes without leaving gritty sediments.
