Product Highlights
Vanilla is all we do
Traditionally cured to ensure full flavor
We do not sell beans that have been quickly cured in a matter of days. Fast curing loses some of the subtleties of vanilla. Our beans are cured the traditional way over a period of months.
Vacuum sealed using professional equipment
We use professional chamber vacuum sealers. The entire product (pouch with vanilla beans) is placed inside of a vacuum chamber, the air is removed from the chamber, and the bag is sealed.
An inferior method is to use an external suction vacuum sealer. This requires the use of special mesh bags which can cause oils from the vanilla bean to wick away from the bean, reducing the quality of the bean.
Description
Variety of vanilla beans
There are many characteristics to a vanilla bean:
- Country of origin
- Species
- Grade
- Length
- Wholes, Splits, or Cuts
Country of Origin: These Vanilla beans are grown in Uganda.
Grade: Multiple terms are used to describe the grades. Grade A means the same as Gourmet which also means the same as Prime. Grade B means the same as Extract Grade.
Grade A is not necessarily a better quality bean – but it does mean that it has a higher moisture content. You can do anything with Grade A that you can do with Grade B. You need to use Grade A when you want to scrape out the seeds (sometimes referred to as the caviar).
Length: This can be specified in inches or centimeters (1 inch = 2.54 cm). Length can vary from 3 inches to over 8 inches.
