Vanilla pod - organic / fair trade
Our organic vanilla pod from Sri Lanka is of the Planofolia variety also called Bourbon vanilla.
Sri Lankan vanilla grown in the Kandy region is renowned for its sweet, fruity and cocoa aromas.
Our beautiful approximately 5 inch pods are full, unsplit and weigh approximately 2.5 to 3 grams. Their maximum humidity is 30%. In addition to its typical aroma, a fresh pod can be recognized by its elasticity.
Finally, unlike cheap spices, ours are steam sterilized and not irradiated, in order to preserve their benefits and nutritional properties.
Our local partner works directly with small producers who receive a fair price for their spices. A pioneer in organic farming, our partner also promotes the principles of agroforestry and regenerative agriculture.
