Unit 16, Nordic Enterprise Park, Knockgriffin, Midleton, Co. Cork, P25 Y597
An Indian spice business that describes itself, accurately, as having been born in the food markets of County Cork. Green Saffron works out of a unit on the Nordic Enterprise Park at Knockgriffin on the edge of Midleton, importing and blending whole spices rather than reselling ground ones, and its masalas and curry mixes turn up in kitchens and on shelves well beyond East Cork. This is a production unit rather than a shop, so it is a mail-order and stockist proposition rather than somewhere to browse; buy online or look for the range in good food shops around Cork.
