Vanilla Planifolia
The global culinary standard. Sweet, creamy and deeply vanillic, planifolia is the reference bean for pastry, ice cream, dairy and confectionery. Cured to a dark, glossy brown and supple enough to bend without splitting.

|---|---|
| Grade A14–16 cm | Pronounced floral aroma, gourmet grade |

Nine months on the vine. Six more in the curing room.
Vanilla is the second most labour-intensive spice in the world, and almost all of that labour happens before the pod is packed. Every lot we ship goes through these six stages.
Hand pollination
Each flower opens for a single morning and is pollinated by hand, one bloom at a time.
Maturation
Pods stay on the vine for 8–9 months, until the tips begin to yellow.
Killing & sweating
Hot-water blanching, then sweating in insulated boxes to start enzymatic development.
Sun-drying
Weeks of alternating sun and shade reduce moisture gradually and build vanillin.
Conditioning
Months of rest in closed containers let the aroma round out and stabilise.
Grading & packing
Hand-sorted on length, suppleness and moisture, then vacuum-sealed in food-grade film.
How it is packed, and how it travels.
Vanilla loses value through moisture loss and mould, and both start as packing problems. Our packing specification is designed to hold moisture stable through a long sea transit.
