Premium Quality Vanilla Naturally Grown
We grow our premium quality vanilla in our vanilla nursery distributed amongst a forest of 100,000 trees planted by us since 2017, we don’t use artificial chemicals or fertilisers and our forest provides the perfect natural environment for vanilla vines to thrive and produce exceptionally large, high quality pods.
We have worked hard to provide the perfect environment in which our vanilla vines can produce their exceptional pods, however this is only half the story. After the green vanilla pods are harvested they are fermented and cured, this develops and enhances the flavours and transforms the pods from green to brown.
Traditionally this process takes place outside using the heat of the sun but the weather is unpredictable and this method often produces inconsistent and unsatisfactory results. In order to produce a consistent, high quality product we have built a specially designed, biomass powered, curing facility where our fermenting and curing can be carefully monitored. This ensures all our finished vanilla is of an exceptional quality you won’t find anywhere else.
What is Vanilla Planifolia?
Vanilla planifolia is a variety of vanilla orchid native to the rainforests of Mexico and Belize, the pods of the orchid contain a particularly high concentration of vanillin the compound which provides the distinctive flavour of vanilla.
This orchid has been farmed in its native area since the early 12th century and is now also grown in select parts of the tropics where the climate is suitable.
