Vanilla Beans
Our vanilla beans are slowly cured to provide the richest flavor and aroma possible in a bean. Curing begins after beans have been selected at their peak ripeness and submerged in hot water for approximately three minutes. The beans are then stored in cloth-lined wodden boxes overnight and placed in the sun for one hour each day for 10-14 days. The beans are then placed in shaded curing houses to dry. The selection process begins when beans are at approximately 25% moisture content. Beans are then stored for months to achieve the richest flavor possible in a gourmet vanilla bean. like a fine wine, vanilla gets better with age. It is this principle of patience and dedication to cultivation and curing that permits us delivering the very best bean in the world.
