From a small farm in Madagascar to your kitchen.

These soft, pliable Madagascar vanilla beans are sourced from a certified organic, fair-trade farm committed to sustainability and quality.

Whole Pods vs. Splits

Our whole pods are soft, aromatic, and easy to slice—ideal when you want that classic burst of vanilla flavor and texture. In contrast, our splits are dry and brittle, best suited for powder, paste, or extract where texture doesn’t matter.

How to Make Vanilla Extract

Slice beans lengthwise, place in a clean jar, cover with alcohol, and give it a shake. Let it steep for a few months—and voilà! Homemade extract that’s better than store-bought. Find extract-making supplies here. For full instructions on making vanilla products, click here.
