Your vanilla of choice
The days of customizing your own sensory profile and highlighting specific notes are here. Using a fusion of patented technology, deep knowledge of plant metabolism, and a data-driven approach, we produce vanilla beans that are not only the most vanillin-concentrated in the market, but also inspire new possibilities.
Choose your vanilla profile:
Pure Vanilla
Following the sensory profile of vanillin, masking other aroma molecules and bringing out the natural sweetness of vanilla.
Smoky Vanilla
A smoky vanilla that brings the scent of natural wood and resin to life, with a charred yet sweet undertone.
Brown Notes
The essence of vanilla rounded out with the robustness of deep, chocolatey scents and nuts roasted on an open flame.
Vanilla Floral
A romantic yet fresh profile, made with sweet flower and fruit aroma notes.
Caramel Notes
Roasted sugars and smoky caramels typify this sensory profile, bringing to mind fresh pastries right from the oven.
