Description

Organic vanilla pods are the 2nd most expensive spice in the world

Producing organic vanilla pods is extremely labour intensive. Shortly before the pods ripen they are harvested by hand and then fermented for up to four weeks in an airtight container.

Our organic vanilla beans are the Vanilla Planifolia (Bourbon) Grade A variety grown and harvested in organic planation’s of Madagascar. They are approximately 6” long. Grade A vanilla pods are the best quality, they are harvested just at the right time resulting in a more fragrant and moist product.
