Products & Quality
What is the difference between the types of vanilla you offer?
Each vanilla has its own origin, terroir, and aroma. Madagascar vanilla is rich and creamy, Tahitian vanilla is floral and aniseed, while Ugandan vanilla is woody and chocolaty. We always specify the characteristics of each origin on our product pages.
Are your products organic or fair trade certified?
We have chosen to follow our own strict internal standards (via our Excellence Charter), rather than external certifications.
No chemical inputs are used. Our vanilla is mainly grown using agroforestry practices. We also favor short supply chains. Ethical trade is at the heart of our approach, and our long-term partnerships ensure producers benefit directly.
This way, our partner producers do not bear the extra cost of certification and get a better return on their expertise.
What is the shelf life of your vanilla beans?
When stored away from air, light, and humidity, a vanilla bean can be kept for up to 3 years without losing its aroma.
How should vanilla be stored to preserve its quality?
Keep it in a glass tube or an airtight jar, at room temperature. No refrigerator. The best option is a glass jar in a cupboard!
